Anybody seen a Facebook application virus?

Yesterday I got a post on my Facebook wall from a FB friend… he encouraged me to visit a web site with live web cams, ladies and, well, you get the picture. He’s not sure how it happened, but he pasted the offer on at least 5 of his friends’ walls. Anyone else seen this??

I won’t put the entire post here, but it started:

“hi Healy, mate i just found a site…girls…” then it gets a little nasty.
