"Top Friends"?

Just now I was wondering why everyone cares some much about "Top Friends". You see in on myspace and facebook. And lately it's just become really annoying. I mean now there is also competition between friends too? I think that is just messed up. I refuse to number my friends in the order that they are. I treat everyone of my friends with the same respect they treat me. I am their friends because I can talk to them the same why they talk to me. It's stupid to come up with idiotic idea such as "Top Friends".
