    this one in particular stood out to me as really silly of the lot. something as tiny as that really feels like it shouldn't be having to go through the nine rings of facebook advertising hell, but because it did they literally couldn't use facebook's advertising process to get the word out before what they were advertising happened, making the whole affair especially useless and time wasting on everyone's part.
