State Department spent over half a million to boost Facebook “likes"

You can't make this stuff up...

According to an inspector general’s report, the government spent approximately $630,000 from 2011 through 2012 to increase the number of “likes” the State Department’s Facebook page received. While the initiative was successful, having increased the numbers on the page dramatically, many critics are speaking out against the action, calling it a waste of money.

They increased it by people liking the IRS line dancing, I guess.
