How to block "x" likes "y" on facebook?

Ok, First of all, I hate facebook, but since everyone uses it I'm resigned to the fact that if I don't use it, I'll probably miss out on a lot of stuff thats going on.

It's useful to see what people are upto and what events are happening and so forth, but now about 60% of the stuff on my feed is crap what people have clicked like.

I still want their status updates, I just don't give a **** about what moronic stuff they like or some unfunny phrase they like.

Surely there must be a way to filter out this crap?
