Unashamed "Likejacking" site ibuzzu.fr has stooped to the level of exploiting the recent and devastating Japanese tsunami as a drawcard.

The video page is entitled "Vidéo exclusive de l'arrivée du Tsunami sur les cotes Japonaises - Voilà une vidéo du Tsunami du Japon du 11 Mars 2011 !!! A voir absolument." (Exclusive video of the tsunami reaching Japanese shores - A must-see video of the Japanese tsunami of 11 March 2011!)

But the believable-looking video viewer is a Facebook likejack - clicking on the the grey screen and Play icon actually triggers an invisible Facebook Like button behind the scenes.

Of course, if you happen to be logged into Facebook at the time, the Like happens automatically.
