Facebook Salesperson

Alright, Facebook is a great thing, it's changed the world of social media and it's a powerful force; but it's not the place to be used as a sales pitch.  People I've known for years, people I've gone to school with are using their status updates to try to recruit their friends into a pyramid scheme called 'Body by Vi.'  I couldn't care less how much time and money went into creating this product and I'm quite sure it's helped many many people, I just don't agree with it and I don't want to read about it when I'm on FB.  At the root, it's just another scheme used to separate people from their money and give it to the people above them in the pyramid.  It's inherently flawed, dishonest, a waste of time and I don't want to hear about it.

Anyone else feel this way?

PS.  Other bullshit schemes include Youth Juice, Skinny's (now defunct), the stock market...
