MySpace has edge

There’s a guy on MySpace that collects the polythene wrappers from promotional toys.  He catalogues them.  He like Radiohead and The Killers, and has an Andy Warhol themed MySpace page.  He has 600 Scandinavian MySpace friends.  It’s great the MySpace brings like minded people together.  It’s a wonder and a blessing of our age.  There’s another guy who only speaks via his mobile phone, using text speak, and, according to MySpace (at least), is friends with Sting.  MySpace friends with Sting.  I heard a funny story over Christmas about lady from Michigan who set up a MySpace page for her dog.

Shockingly she started getting stalked, which peaked with her house been broken into, leading to the arrest of a 24 year old sociology post-grad student from Cardiff (UK).  Upon arrest he confessed his romantic intentions towards the dog and was placed in the custody of state mental health services.  It was barely reported in the press.  People should stress MySpace can be dangerous.  It has edge.
