That's miffed a Facebook for having it's stupid little requirement of signing up 20 or more people just so you can get a glimpse at their little "applications" that you add to your system.
The always delectable Andi-licious sent me this link:

Oh but wait, you have to sign up to view it, so here it is:
No, I will NOT invite 20 friends just to add your application!
Are you sick of spending time adding a new application and then discovering that you are required to invite 20 friends before you can do anything with it?
This group is a place to list every app you come across that has this requirement so we can all simply choose 'ignore' or 'cancel' (or even 'block' or 'report'!) - vote with your mouse!
There's an A-Z listing available- if you've come across one that isn't already listed (please check first) you can add it to the 'Suggested Additions' topic or send me a message, and I'll update the list.
Maybe if enough people stay away from these apps (or remove them) the developers will get the idea - if the app is good enough people will invite their friends of their own free will, the way it should be.
There is then a link to the entire list of applications (I'm sure it's not complete) and it goes on listing more than 290 apps.
STOP it Facebook!
Not surprising, there is also a petition to stop this stupid practice, but again you have to be on Facebook so if you want to sign up, check it out:

I hate Facebook!
Oh I know right away I'm gonna rile some feathers with a post headline like that aren't I? And I know exactly who you are right now.
Yes, Facebook is cool.....Facebook is the new "it" toy of the interwebs, everyone's got to be on Facebook. Apparently the CEO of the organization I work for sent a link to all of the Higher Ups from Facebook and because of our firewalls, they couldn't see it -- Oops....
I don't get Facebook...and it shouldn't feel bad, I don't "get" MySpace either. I don't know, I just don't get it....not their fault.
But here's why I hate Facebook. Of all of the interactions I've had with it, I love it. I think it's a great little tool, it's fun, but there's too much crap going on while you're there. But it's a little scary too, if you ask me. Last week I ordered tickets from Fandango....and Facebook knows about it - but how facebook knows about it, I don't know. Because my Fandango account is under a completely different email account than my Facebook email account, so how the hell does Facebook know?
The other thing that bugs me about Facebook is that there's all these little games and things, which in itself is pretty cool where you can challenge your friends to take trivia games or play scrabble. Oh yeah, did you hear they're getting sued by Milton Bradley, apparently Scrabolicious is just Facebooks own little version of the game and they don't think that people will confuse Scrabulous with the real Scrabble.....uhm, yeah, cuz I thought it was owned by Milton Bradley.
The games and all are cool, but every now and then you get one where they'll only reveal your score AFTER you forward it onto 20 of your friends. Now that pisses me off to no end, because I don't have 20 friends on Facebook, which means I'll never get to see my scores.....because I'll never have 20 friends on Facebook....those fuckers....but on the other hand, I don't have a problem with that on MySpace. Whenever I log in there I've got 42 "Friend Reqeusts".....from women......hmmmm.....maybe if I could get some of that on Facebook I'd finally be able to see my score for that game I played!
But fuck you Facebook, I'm not making any more friends at your place....
Why do you hate Facebook?
