Not everyone enjoyed the joke.
Facebook quickly pulled down the page. Keystone Progress' executive director, Mike Morrill, suspects that someone complained.
"It wasn't like we were trying to hide or do something deceptive," Morrill said of the Facebook page, which was labeled as a spoof in his organization's name. "We were trying to have some fun with what was going on."
Toomey's camp said it hadn't asked for the page to be pulled.
A Facebook spokesman declined to say if the page had been pulled over a complaint, but passed along this generic explanation:
"We want Facebook to be a place where people can openly discuss issues and express their views, while respecting the rights and feelings of others. Our policies prohibit bullying, pornography, direct statements of hate, and actionable threats of violence. Facebook is also based on a real name culture, and we remove fake profiles and the content created by them when they're reported."
Type "porn" into the Facebook search engine and the Web site offers up an application to help you create your "porn star name."
So creating a porn name: OK.
Putting up a Facebook page with fake porn name: Not OK.
The admiral admires . . .
Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, who served 31 years in the Navy, just snagged an endorsement for his Senate candidacy from former Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Republican of Nebraska.
Sestak told reporters this week that Hagel, who served in the Senate from 1997 to 2009, was the guy he most admired there.
Except that Sestak, when asked during a debate with U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter back in May who he most admired in public life, picked former Sen. Sam Nunn, a Democrat from Georgia. Nunn served from 1973 to 1997.
