I was just nailed with an abundance of friend requests on my Myspace page—being the cautious person that I am (Stop snickering!), I always check out each one to see whether they’re legit, especially the ones that don’t have a picture. Tonight, it was a giant clusterfuck of illegitimacy. It made me feel all icky inside except for Jasmine’s page. That one was actually pretty funny…
It starts like this:
About me: [Initial blurb about a website that provided the layout of the page] Hey! I love meeting new people and having a good time with my friends. Im very easy going and love to drink and party.
Just below that description is a giant white box declaring “This Profile contains Adult Content”, adding that “[my] browser active X plugins is out of date. please download this plugin to display this page correctly.” The link (which is shaped like the Myspace logo) goes to a myspaceupdates.ifastnet.com/setup page—below that link, the white box makes its final official statement: You Must Be 18 Years of Age or Older. This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I wasn’t jumping up and down with glee at the possibility of checking out naked pictures of some random underage chick.
Yes, that’s the funny part. Under the personal info with her name, gender and location, it says she’s 17 years old, meaning she’s not legally allowed to view her own pictures. And what’s worse is that nine people (so far) have accepted her friend request, essentially telling the world that they may or may not be willing to wait for another couple months before trying to jump her bones. Now the question is whether they have the plugins to do it…
Her #2 friend in the boxers is um. Interesting.
