Of course, being Time Magazine’s Person of the Year isn’t all roses, Chuppahs, and long distance wedding invitations. It also means the occasional Facebook Fan Page hacking.

TechCrunch caught wind of the bizarre posting and noted that, after a few minutes, 1,800 people liked the thing, commenting 500 times,despite the fact that it pretty clearly didn’t come from Zuckerberg himself–unless, of course, the executive had his Network moment for all the world to see.

Facebook took the page down fairly quickly, but has yet to issue an official statement regarding what precisely happened on Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Fan Page.
