It’s malware.

Example running right now:

Messages from Your Friends on Facebook, March 11, 2009

You have 1 Personal Message:
Video title: “Amanda is dancing on Striptease Dance Party, March 13, 2009! We’re absolutely shocked!”.

Proceed to view full video message:

hxxp://facebook.shared.completeserv.personalid-5ihg4wefb.based.867player com/home.htm?/tools/application=e1q3flwixa7lkef

Message ID: FB-7n1cqla9sgguzde
2009 Facebook community, Message Center.

When you try to view the “video”, you’re asked to download and run a “media player”. That’s the malware part.
This has been reported to Facebook.
