			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_602" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 228px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-602" title="saget" src="http://www.bluehelm.com/bhwp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/saget-218x300.jpg" alt="I am Bob Saget." width="218" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I am Bob Saget.</p></div>
<p>A recent craze has swept Facebook: <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2010/01/29/2010-01-29_doppelgnger_week_looks_like_facebooks_next_big_craze.html" target="_blank">Doppelganger Week</a> (or is it Doppelganger Month? The fad has certainly lasted for more than a week). For those of you unfamiliar with the trend, Facebookers everywhere have replaced their normal profile pictures with photos of celebrity lookalikes. I was actually told by someone in middle school that I looked like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0756114/" target="_blank">Bob Saget</a>. No, that doesn&#8217;t do wonders for a thirteen-year-old&#8217;s self-esteem, but it works great for a Facebook profile pic!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Facebook&#8217;s Terms of Service could bust the party:</p>
<p>&#8220;You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone else&#8217;s rights or otherwise violates the law&#8230;We can remove any content or information you post on Facebook if we believe that it violates this Statement.&#8221;</p>
<p>That means that unless you took that celebrity photo yourself, you could be in violation of those terms. But not to worry, Facebook <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10445698-36.html" target="_blank">released a statement</a> saying they haven&#8217;t received any complaints from celebrities and the site doesn&#8217;t plan on removing any doppelganger photos any time soon.</p>
<p>What a relief. Now I can turn my sights toward the next potential Facebook craze: <a href="http://mashable.com/2010/02/03/facebook-urban-dictionary-week/" target="_blank">Urban Dictionary Week</a>.</p>
