...goodness sake, I check out the Facebook profile of the boy I like on a regular basis. I know he likes Bob Dylan, beach volleyball, and “Seinfeld,” but what good is all this information?

Web sites like Gawker and Wonkette already gleefully post photos of celebrity or politician offspring on a regular basis, so if you really want to make some quick easy bucks in your lifetime, go ahead and start...
