Today I was rather disturbed by a Facebook application called Friends for Sale! My immediate response was to twitter about how my “friends” are selling and buying me and worse yet I am a F*(&ing PET! WTF!!!
The immediate response got via twitter was ” sadiemedley @feedia i’m so with you. i deleted that app after some creepy dude “bought” me for a couple grand. ack!”
I know this may have been intended as a joke but it rubs me the wrong way BIG time.
I never installed this, IMHO twisted little facebook application and yet here I am being bought and sold 
(I covered the names of my “friends” so as not to seem like I am attacking them) side note this may make me unfriend them.
This is very very tacky at the least and out right sick at it’s worst. Do we really think the buying and selling of people is a joke in 2008? I can tell you a number of communities will come at you with a vengeance if this becomes mass market. Facebook you are putting yourself at serious risk of some VERY bad PR if you do not do something about this ASAP!
The fact that this application has 15K in fans makes me wonder if they really thought this through or just clicked some link, what is wrong with people? The thing that makes me most concerned and made me write this post was that this has stalker fetish freak written all over it. I tell you now that I am blocking this application and if I still keep getting bought as some sort of Facebook Pet Slave I will unfriend anyone with this application and might just abandon Facebook and tell all my client to stay away.
To me this application violates Platform Application Guidlines
I. Applications may not promote, or contain content (including any advertising content) referencing, facilitating, promoting or using, the following:
2. Obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous and/or unlawful content;
Maybe —
5. Gambling, including without limitation, any online casino, sports books, bingo or poker;
9. Hate speech, whether directed at an individual or a group, and whether based upon the race, sex, creed, national origin, religious affiliation, marital status, sexual orientation or language of such individual or group;
This is just WRONG -
Buy and sell your friends as pets! You can make your pets poke, send gifts, or just show off for you. Make money as a shrewd pets investor or as a hot commodity! Friends for Sale is the bees knees!
