INCOME TAX RETURNS POSTED ON INTERNET

This story made my jaw drop. The country of Norway has made a leap forward in disclosing government records to the public.

Norway's tax authorities made their income tax lists public on Friday, and the resulting rush to check out the intimate financial details of celebrities and neighbors is the highlight of the Internet year.

Excuse me, folks, but this just doesn't seem to me to be such a great idea.
