It is identity theft. You don't have to be yourself online, but you can't pretend to be someone specific either. While it may be accepted to impersonate celebrities (I mean, no one believes that Brad Pitt is actually friending them and talking about how he's cleaning out the cat's litter box), I can't pretend to be my neighbor, co-worker, classmate, etc.

Report it to Facebook and make them take it down. Just be aware that, if the person is a jerk, they'll just put it up again. If that happens, report it to the police.
