A little while ago Facebook added the News Feed feature which is basically a river of news on your Facebook home page which shows what people in your social network are up to. What I hadn't noticed until today is that sometimes they have ads in there masquerading as updates from people in your friends list. Here's what I saw when I logged in today to take a look at the much ballyhoed Facebook developer platform.

It's one thing to inject ads into a social experience like Facebook has done here, it's another thing for the ad to contain disgusting imagery from a big budget snuff film. Seriously...WTF?
