If you’re like Marie Eve Bergeron-Tourangeau from Canada, you’ve decided to become a Facebook profile page for Halloween. Which is better, I guess, than trying to dress up like a Google OpenSocial, since the only image really associated with that so far is this horny elmer’s glue thing.

that profile picture sucks.
oh wait what? my bad!
Would be so much better if she cut the profile picture out and stuck her head in there instead… in my humble opinion.
I’m dressing as a tag cloud.
Any recommendations for a Geeky Outfit?
That pic looks kinda cool, by the way.
someone videotape her walking into a wall
DADAMAN.
#3 - That’s her real head! haha the place for the avatar so-to say is cut out and you’re looking at her real face. I like it. creative!
Go Canada!
She wasn’t the only one! Mississauga’s My Apartment nightclub had a girl with a similar costume. As you can see from the links below people were really into her costume, even creating wall postings!

Hair and makeup. I bet she’s from BC.
this guy went as a youtube video http://uploader.ws/upload/2007.....ostume.jpg
here is one with a guy as a myspace slut http://www.somethingleet.com/myspacewhore.jpg
the myspace one is way better than the facebook one…but then again, we haven’t had our dose of facebook ass-kissing by TechCrunch today, so i guess they had to post the facebook one.
This is a horrible trend.
Nice idea but I saw this a year and half ago for a college theme. Oh well.
ohhh, haha that’s her real head?! It looks like an awful photo, doesn’t it?
The amazing ways how FB comes over in TC news.

I’m going as a Mashup Monster
wait… wasn’t Frankenstein the original mashup?
I doubt anybody would get it though

Much better than carrying around a piece of cardboard all day.
Matt #11 - haha, no kidding.
I bet Michael about creamed his shorts when he saw this costume.
Michael, you should ask her out on a date - she’s perfect for you!
The TechCrunch/Facebook love-a-thon really has to stop. Please, you know, once and a while, write about something other than what Facebook is/will/might-maybe-someday do, or in this case, about someone dressing up as a damn Facebook page. Surely there are more interesting pictures; it is annual dress-like-a-prostitute day after all.
I’m going as a rusty trombone
@ St Stephen - that’s clever.
My name is Michael Arrington and I can’t stop talking about Facebook.
I wake up in the morning and have a big bowl of Facebook cereal to start the day. It’s nice and crunchy
Then I put on my favorite Facebook shirt and I look in the mirror and say, “Today’s going to be a real Facebookeriffic day!”
I just can’t get enough of Facebook. It’s just sooo amazing. I think they should rename the Internet to “Facebookernet.”
Yes! Facebookernet it is. And today I will write five, no six, posts about Facebook because it’s just the best thing that’s ever happened.
Well, gotta go. I just heard that Facebook is going to change the way people upload their photos, and you know what that means! More Facebook news coming your way!! This is going to be great!
@ Sean: Just checked out GetClicky… what a great stats tool! Expect a blog from me soon
Everyone needs a break from real tech issues. Happy Halloween all.
ill be techcrunch dracula who eats all the technology stuff which you can find from http://lapnol.blogspot.com
For a change “Fake”(#23) is funny this time. good work!
I visit the page, really funny.
Thanks. I’m not related to the other Fake Michael Arrington. He’s a fraud.
That’s one creative costume.
@St Stephen = clever
so… lets disclose here .. how much facebook do you own Michael?
Cool to see people from Quebec appearing on TechCrunch. Mike, you’ve got fans here btw!!
god, i fucking hate hyphenated names.
No way! I saw her last weekend at the Parade of Lost Souls in Vancouver (or at least, a girl with a Facebook costume).
Ha! Nice job, front page, you go Marie!
hahaha … check it out. “Marie and Micheal Arrington are now friends”. Way to get on Techcrunch.
Go Montreal!

Check how Matt Cutts dress up for Haloween; http://www.mattcutts.com/image.....-small.jpg
Fynny Stuff, I wonder how it looks at the back
My costume was much better. I was a Myspace page and I was carrying around a Polaroid Camera adding random people into my “top 8″
