I'm not surprised that Facemash Zuckerberg is behind these.

"Facemash" was a website designed to evaluate the attractiveness of female Harvard students. The students were unaware their images were being used for this rating, judging by the complaint from Fuerza Latina and the Harvard Association of Black Women. The site used ID photos of female undergraduates taken without permission from the university's online directories. Users were presented with pairs of women and asked to rank who was "hotter." The homepage stated, "Were we admitted for our looks? No. Will we be judged by them? Yes."[2]
