Let's put this in global context:

    Adblocking is a non-trivial task, but there are trivial solutions.
    
    1.) Install hosts-gen from http://git.r-36.net/hosts-gen/
    
    % git clone http://git.r-36.net/hosts-gen
    % cd hosts-gen
    % sudo make install
    
        # Make sure all your custom configuration from your current /etc/hosts is
        # preserved in a file in /etc/hosts.d. The files have to begin with a
        # number, a minus and then the name.
    
    % sudo hosts-gen
    
    2.) Install the zerohosts script.
    
    # In the above directory.
    % sudo cp examples/gethostszero /bin
    % sudo chmod 775 /bin/gethostszero
    % sudo /bin/gethostszero
    % sudo hosts-gen

Add a cron job, and enjoy your faster and adfree-er internet. Further, you can add your custom (this FB) block to the local files in /etc/hosts.d, which then will be concatenated automatically.
