I've been getting a lot of news items in my Facebook news feed from things I've never heard of lately. I sent FB a bug report but they haven't responded. Today I found a way to look at all the pages that I had liked and out of 8 legit items, there were 30 or so that I've never heard of, some quite racy, the same ones in my news feed.
What's going on? How did they get there? I know I didn't press the like button for them because I've never even heard of them and rarely press 'like' anyways. Is this some kind of spam trend? How is this happening?

Some sites try to Clickjack facebook likes (see, e.g., new facebook clickjacking attack) by hiding the like action behind an innocent-looking button.
Blocking scripts (NoScript on Firefox, NotScript on Chrome) can prevent some of these attacks.
