Target To Sell Facebook "Credits" As Gift Cards
Julie188 writes "Target will begin selling Facebook's virtual currency as gift cards on September 5, becoming the first brick-and-mortar retailer to do so. Facebook Credit gift cards will be available in $15, $25 and $50 denominations at the retailer's 1,750 stores. That's right, you can now spend real dollars to get fake ones so you can buy imaginary items for games like FarmVille, Bejeweled and 150 other FB games or apps. If that interests you, please contact me. I have some swamp land in Florida I'd like to show you."
I have been saving up for new cows.

I think I'll save these for my nieces and nephews as gifts for Christmas.
You shouldn't admit to child-abuse in public.

I'll stick with Codeville, where one spends enormous amounts of time writing code. Costs almost no money, and the virtual goods work quite well in the real world. Also highly addictive (hmmm, who should I sue for it being too addictive? K&R?).
Spot on. And for those that haven't seen the Farmville parody ad, here it is:

How about slashdotville, where you get points for being informative or snarky or snarkily informative? Best free MMORPG ever.
