MySpam, er, MySpace
I joined MySpace a while ago so I could kep track of some of my favorite musicians, and last week I finally got around to updating my profile, putting something out there besides just a picture and blank profile.
I noticed lately, even before I put my profile out there, I was starting to get some spam coming through MySpace, not surprisingly. It’s the same thing they try to sneak past the spam filters at GMail, Yahoo, and Hotmail, and every other internet email provider. Viagra, Levitra, whatever the current hot sexual dysfunction medication is at the time, refinance a mortgage, come check out some stupid dating site, or watch some chick’s webcam who’s younger than my daughter.
As if I’m interested in any of that. MySpace should re-name itself to MySpam. You know, I realize someone like me isn’t going to have a lot of people looking at my profile, and I’m ok with that. I’d be a lot happier if the people lokoing at my profile weren’t going to request I add them to my friends just to get me to look at their profile so I’ll want to go look at her webcam or some nude pictures she’s had taken.
So, although they’re never going to read this or anything else I write because they’re too busy hassling people with better things to do, let me just say F*CK OFF and F*CK YOU! Find someone stupid enough to play along with you and leave me the hell alone. Can you tell I hate spam?
