Facebook's New 'Spankify' App to Be Removed

"Spankify," Facebook's recent pornographic application, has been pulled after three weeks of near-total rejection.
"Members didn't want their friends to see which porn clip they were watching in real time," admitted CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Facebook developers originally thought members would bond over mutual fetishes.
"I knew it was doomed when bloggers started calling it 'Porn with Friends'," said Zuckerberg. "No one wants to watch porn with friends."
Facebook stressed that no group had protested the app which provided free hardcore porn to any member over the age of 18, provided that participating friends and third parties could monitor their viewing habits.
"The idea just kind of bummed everybody out," said Zuckerberg.
Spankify had only registered 17 Facebook members in 22 days.
"And those guys were pretty creepy," said Zuckerberg.
