As if there aren’t already enough pointlessly stupid Facebook applications already, Colle McVoy has launched yet another one for its client, Caribou Coffee. It’s called Wild It Up (screenshots) and it lets you…yea…”wild up” any photo by adding goofy clip art.

So what’s the point of it all? Supposedly, it will get people to try Caribou’s eight new Wild Cooler drinks. And it just might work because all people have to do is print their wild’d up image and present it at any Caribou Coffee for a free drink.

Hmm. Sounds like a simple coupon would have been much easier and cheaper. Oh, OK, coupons are terribly boring and everyone just throws them away. So, yea, Facebook app!!!
