Facebook sued for Beacon blunder

I-Spy Zuckerberg 

Paris Hilton

Why oh why does Zuckerberg seem to think that everyone should know everything about what everyone else is doing ?? Perhaps he should have a live streaming camera crew follow him around all day for a year, (and follow him and record him doing EVERYTHING,) and see if he's so willing to sign everyone up to being constantly watched then !!!

Paris coz she's used to be filmed =)

This reminded me of the scene in "coupling" with this guy (steve, i think) defending men watching porn. I see lots of poor guys doing that now. What was the name of the movie they were "discussing"?
