    So I like to pretend to be smart so I got a copy of the wall street journal today. And well well well what do we have ? A front page story about fake myspace profiles and some dude who isn't happy about them.

    Also included is a stunning view of how myspace works :

    " To gain a friend, a member must ping another member through his or her profile page and then ben accepted by that person as a friend. "

    WOW - that's just amazing news ! Nevermind that myspace has no such "ping" feature. This must be someone who knows 1/2 a dozen technical terms, "ping" being one of them.

    I was so dissappointed to see this on the front page I almost want my money back.

    In fact if I get bored later I may take it back.

    Fake myspace profiles = front page news on the wall street journal ?

    :rolleyes:

    " Myspace regular Morgan Kapassakis, a 17-year-old in New York City, came across Pamela Anderson's profile page and decided to fire off a note to the actress, telling her that she thought she was "hot". Ms. Kapassakis realized she had been taken in when she received a terse reply containing an unsavory comments about her own physique. "I would have felt better if I hadn't gotten a response," Ms. Kapassakis says. "Then at least I might think she was real. "

    Oh dear god some 17 yr old new york girl got her little heart broken because someone is running a fake Pam Anderson myspace page - hold the press.

    Jesus Christ.
