Guy loses job for posing as his boss on MySpace

The details are a bit sketchy on this story but here's the gist of it. Bill Poon worked at a local burger joint for about a year -- last September he used a pic of the president of the company he works for as his MySpace pic and left comments on some of this co-worker's MySpace pages. In April, he gets called into a meeting with HR and his supervisor and is bacially fired because they consider what he did "identity theft".

Identity Theft? Really? Come on. I have no idea what burger joint this is, but do they really not have anything better to do than to be checking up on some burger-flipping, 20-year old's MySpace page? It wasn't like anybody was going to believe he was really the prez of this company. It was a joke!

Anyone else feel the same?
