JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Would you visit a doctor who wore a
lab coat labled "Kevorkian Medical Clinic?" Or dressed as a pimp?
Or posted online photos of themselves cross-dressing?
But that's the kind of material University of Florida
researchers found when they studied the Facebook pages of the
school's medical students.
The study found that almost half the medical students had
Facebook pages, but only 37 percent of those limited viewership to
their friends. More than half provided lifestyle information,
including sexual orientation, dating relationships and political
opinions.
Researchers found pictures of students grabbing their breasts
and crotches, posing with a dead raccoon and many photos of
students heavily drinking.

I like the new commerical I’ve been seeing on TV of the young teen girl “Sarah” and all these strangers on the street are like “Oh that’s Sarah!” “Hey Sarah, what color underwear today?” “Hey Sarah! When are you going to post a new blog?”
It’s amazing what you find out about people by doing a myspace search of their first and last name. (I was smart enough to say I live in a different country and used the fake name that KxVx stands for when I signed up for my myspace!)
