:) I didn't think it would make it this long without someone calling me out on that but you are 100% correct, rooting is not the right term for what happened since they did not actually control the account. Some might argue however, that since they took the liberty to allow everything possible that for all intents and purposes (except of course changing my password which would do them no good anyway) they had administrative access to my account.
Also, just to clear up what happened, I was asked to allow separate permissions for modern warfare 3 (much less lenient ones) and when i did that, psn also hopped on board and opened up everything (which I clearly did not authorize). I don't think that facebook has anything to do with this except for the fact that it is possible. I would hope that this sort of use of their service makes them unhappy.
I would take personally any app that asked me to allow certain rights and then piggybacked on every single possible right without notification. Some people don't care, I think it is an issue to bring to everyones attention. I'm glad you got amusement, hopefully some others got more.

I'm not in the mood to rant on about Facebook, but I must say Facebook allows this to happen. If it didn't it wouldn't.
Facebook gives users the illusion of control and will only extend that illusion when someone makes a loud fuss (or a lawsuit).
When Zuckerberg states that Facebook has a hacking culture, I think he meant social engineering.
