We can all agree that a person like that has no business what so ever in an HR department. Like I said, under certain circumstances, it seems like it could get ugly.

You as an applicant would never know. For example look at how many people apply here. On paper we are all almost the same. Some have vast more experience and some don't. Generally the thumbs up or thumbs down comes from your personal interview. The "would I like to sit in the cockpit with this person test" If you have a bunch of stupid sh!t on your MySpace page or similar social networking site you might not even get the call. No phone call, you have no idea why. Are we all going to start suing because we didn't get hired someplace.
Look at the mayor from that small town in Washington. She had some pictures of her in lingerie on her MySpace page. God forbid she actually looked good for her age, was in shape, etc, etc. A bunch of fat lazy f$cks forced her out of office. The pictures had nothing to do with her ability to do her job. People made judgments and the rest is history.
I am not saying everyone has to pull their stuff offline. Just think about what you are doing and how it may effect you in the future.
