Saw this ad on my homepage when I logged into FB:
Offensive as this is, it gets worse because it takes you to this horribly crappy site:
Allegedly this is a charity, until you scroll down further:
It appears to actually be an MLM/Get Rich Quick/Work from Home Scam.
This was approved on Facebook? For sham, I mean, shame!

For a company that prided itself on not being a spammy social network, it really has started going that route, there are many items such as those listed above that I have seen on even my own facebook that is ridiculous. Keep your interface clean Facebook, let’s not start looking spammy it kills credibility!
Agreed Nick – we’ll see if this turns out to be an anomaly or par for the course with them!
Spam is going to kill social media if they dont get a handle on it soon. I feel like over half the ads are garbage site that bring you to hostile landing pages.
