There's no better way to get over being unfriended on Facebook than with William Shatner

The title says it all really.  Recently, on US show Jimmy Kimmel live they commenced a National Unfriend day: asking viewers to go through their Facebook friends and remove anybody who didn't fit the quote of actually being a friend.
