When will people learn that MySpace and Facebook are increasingly becoming the place for employers and future employers to dig up dirt on you. That being said, this case is a little overboard in my opinion... although she was teaching high school students so I suppose that adds some fuel to the fire.

MILLERSVILLE, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A woman denied a teaching degree on the eve of graduation because of a MySpace photo has sued the university.

Millersville University instead granted Stacy Snyder a degree in English last year after learning of her Web-published picture, which bore the caption "Drunken Pirate."
