To what end?  Given FB's privacy policy and privacy issues you would think that they would want to  keep the buzz on the topic low.

I read somewhere that it was a counter-strike of sorts, as they were pissed-off at the constant criticism and wanted to throw some back at the 'do no evil' monkeys.

Think I read it on theRegister.co.uk

QuoteIn an email sent to PRNewser this morning, the PR firm is confirming their involvement (as if that was still in question), defending themselves and their actions, and blaming Facebook for bringing the work to them in the first place.

In other words, they took the job, fucked it up, then blamed the client. Brilliant.
