It seems that if you're a Facebook Fan of Omar Little, the baddest ass character on the Best Show of All Time(tm), the folks at Facebook can think of someone else you might like.

Sent to me by an alert reader this morning, a screen cap:

It was really only a matter of time before Facebook's auto-suggestion engine caught on, since The Wire clocks in at #85 on Stuff White People Like. Obama, of course, is #8.

For more Reason on The Wire, lots to read here, here, here, here, and here.
