People who like and share things on Facebook as a chance to win something

Fucking cretins.

Has anyone in the history of mankind ever won anything on Facebook from this?

FUCK OFF. I'd rather you post instagram pictures of your dinner or you wearing a fake plastic moustache you atrocious cunts.

omg, this happened today

and the weirdest thing was it was a totally sound guy. one of my favourite guys. a good friend indeed. and this is what he shared.

for a chance to win $1,500? maybe i missed the joke on this one but the page that that picture belongs to is DEFINITELY a real religious page. maybe his sense of humour is more advanced than i gave him credit for.

- Unfriend the appalling arsecake
  
  moker @cat_race | 28 Feb '13, 14:20 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - under normal circumstances i would have unfriended him
    
    then added him with an apology so that he would accept so that i can send a message saying 'lol joking' then delete him again.
    
    but in this case, i have such certainty that he's a solid individual that i feel like i must be missing a joke

I think it's against Facebook's Ts&Cs too!

companies aren't really supposed to even do it, can't remember why though.

    - Exactly
      
      and more than likely because Facebook HQ don't get any advertising dollars from it

  iv. You must not use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism. For example, the act of liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant.
  v. You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion.

  - so like the MASSIVE KitKat Chunky advertising campaign at the mo?
    
    They can't be unaware of that

    - ah no, that gets round it I think
      
      because they're encouraging you to share, but then when you actually vote, it's on a separate app. Also, you don't win anything from the KitKat thing do you? No prize, just promotion.

  - you have to use an app to run the contest
    
    *SONY* got their page removed for breaking this rule. Only some sweaty negotiation and the fact they they'd obviously spent shitloads on FB advertising previously got it restored.

    - woah!
      
      that's pretty slack that they didn't bother to check Ts&Cs first. But I suppose breaking that rule is pretty widespread, so maybe they just didn't think.

SO annoying

I have this amazing technique that I use when it happens, called 'ignoring them'.

  - Too true :D Also, if you could see my face right now mate
    
    you'd see the most un-zen incarnation of me you have ever seen (have you ever seen me angry? I'm not generally an angry person. When I blow, I blow, though.)
    
    I am APOPLECTIC with rage. LIke, to the extent that people shoudl fear for their safety. I think I am going to have to call my friend Ben and get him to bring a joint to my work. perhaps less drastic, nip across the road to the pub that I know my friends from macnhester are lurking in this afternoon. Yes. I am going to get drunk. Watch your fb feed later- I'll be re-posting trying to get a free onsie.

I seen someone share an Ipad tester picture the other day.

Imagine sharing that, the prize was being able to test Ipads. Not even win one, play with one to make sure it works.

I prefer the ones that are like

Share this if you love Jesus, ignore if you love Satan
Share/comment if you love your mom, ignore if you want her to die.
Those are both real examples :(
