Even before Twitter released their verified accounts Facebook was scrambling with groups, profiles, and business profiles claiming to be authentic when they were - in fact - not. Seems like a long-time coming for a much needed feature.
e.g. try searching for "Steve Jobs" on Facebook and identifying any authentic page.
I'm with you - I don't quite get this considering the Facebook stance on "fake" users. Was a losing battle to fight? Will they now allow parody accounts a la Twitter?

I miss the days when FB rules concerning actually knowing the people on one's friends list were expected to be upheld.
Now it's turned into some sort of commercial beast, and I refuse to feed that beast.
