Creating a Fake Facebook Page not for posting?

Creating a Fake Facebook Page not for posting?
I'm looking to create a fake Facebook page. I do not intend to upload it to FB, but will be using it as a teaching tool. I need to be able to put pictures, and posts on it for learning purposes, but since it will be obviously fake, do not want to have it on FB.

I've seen some that are kind of funny that weren't real, does anybody know of a program that allows you to do something like that?

Thanks.
Ok, looks like I wasn't clear enough. I want to create something like this:

http://www.slate.com/id/2217225/

Not an actual page, but an image of a dummied Facebook page. It's for a training for managers where they will evaluate how to deal with employees posting things that may reflect negatively on the organization. Obviously, I'm not going to put random weirdness on my own page to use, so I want to create something.

I think I see what you mean. However, I don't know if there is any program that will allow you to do that. What you could do is actually create a Facebook page on the real Facebook, and change privacy settings so that only you can view it.

Depends on the functionality you need for your demonstration and your level of skill.

One simple method is to open up a real facebook page and save it as a complete webpage, then use an html editor to alter it as you see fit. That may or may not work for you, depending on what you're really trying to do here. For example, it would take serious skill to create something that will demonstrate the proper methods of posting to facebook. It's not hard to copy what a webpage looks like, but the back-end functionality is not available for download, it is hidden by the facebook servers. You only get the inputs and responses. Everything else is proprietary and if you want to duplicate it, you'll have to be skilled enough to program it yourself.


EDIT: OK, for that purpose, what I suggested will work, since you won't need any functionality. You'll need to save your webpage in pretty much any browser, then open it and edit it in pretty much any HTML editor. If you are not at all experienced with this kind of stuff, for your purposes, Microsoft Word should be a sufficient editor. You save your webpage (make sure to save it as a complete page), then go to Word, find the page you saved and open it up. Make your changes and save however many versions you need. It won't look perfect, but it should do the trick.
