like farming (v): to engender an overly emotional response and thus induce lots of people to click on Facebook’s “like” button
For example:
- Click “like” if you love Jesus.
- Click “like” if you support the troops.
- Click “like” if you think this tragically disfigured burn victim is still beautiful.
- Click “like” if you have a heart, care even a little, love puppies, and aren’t a selfish evil jerk.
Merlin German was a U.S, soldier injured in a IED attack in Iraq. He died in 2008, but his photo has been used by many Facebook like-farming campaigns.
