Myspace

You no longer need to walk the streets of New York to see the dishevelled  old coot with the sandwich boards hollering about the end of the world.  Oh it's coming alright, but now it's in the form of internet websites.  Apparently anyone can have one and they only cost the price of a computer and internet connection.

I'm talking about Myspace.  People apparently have forgotten the art of personal communication.  Now, they post messages to each other so the whole world can see.

"These 12 hour work days have kinda killed our fun factor, but same ole, drink when we can, chill out, little orgy last night lol.. i wasnt involved though had to sleep for work, but w/e good times. i think im still going to sleep hear even though i belong to the 54th, mackey will have a new roomate haha"

Ah, what?  Thanks for that Alex.

From a guy named Alan, "I have your myspace virginity haha! Because I work nights, so I don't go to bed until 5 or 6am."

Apparently in the myspace world, that is an important get.  And thanks for the explanation Al.

This one is a touching message from a fellow who goes by the name of "Not Guilty."

WHATS UP YOU FAT ASS BITCH? SO WHY ARE YOU SO STUCK UP?THERE ISNT A MAN THAT WOULD WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOUR SLOPPY ASS,WELL THERE WAS ONE AND HE WAS DRUNK AND THEN HE SOBERED UP AND LEFT YOU AND THE BABY..NOW YOUR A HAS BEEN NO FUCKING JOB NO BOYFRIEND AND A UGLY ASS KID,JUST LIKE HER FUCKING SLUT MOM!!SO NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET A GUY YOU BETTER JUMP ALL OVER IT YOU FUCKING BITCH ASS SLOB!!!!FUCK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!

I think "Not Guilty" may have been guilty of being drunk at one time (at least).

If a member doesn't make their page private, anyone can enter their little world.  And they do.  In Iowa, two sex offenders were arrested after they met a 14 year old girl on Myspace, convinced her to meet them and then proceeded to molest her.  How many of these stories do we hear about almost weekly?

Finally, from "Mind Waste" a modernized, souped up version of the End of the World sandwich boards.

"Yeah i think the end of the world is coming and i love to talk about it and many other conspiracys. i love the x files and the sci-fi channel, along with animal planet of course but i think it's getting way to goofy. as you may have noticed i have a spelling problem but hey, its better than genital warts."

Spelling, may not be your only problem.

Next up, a look at some of the Myspace blogs that have caught my eye.
