Many articles and news shows have been done on MySpace and all the “perils”. MySpace is nothing different from your local park where children go to play. Anyplace where children hang out; weirdos who are sexual predators will hang out too.

I think the biggest problem with MySpace is the same as what’s wrong with the country. The news organizations don’t give a shit about the news, the just want to get ratings and what gets ratings? Fear! Getting you scared will get you watching.

Have you ever seen those commercials for the news where they’re like “coming up at 10, why your children may be at risk from products commonly sold at the supermarket”? Of course if you have children or know someone with children then you would really want to make sure that you caught that program but when you actually watch the fuckin’ thing they tell you something totally ridiculous like “if your children drink bleach, it may be fatal” or any other stupid fact that you should already know or that isn’t likely to actually happen.

The media loves to play off fear and they will say anything to scare you into watching their program to boost ratings by even a hair. MySpace isn’t the end of the world and neither is any of the other shit they try to cram down your throats. Always remember that everyone has an agenda, even me :).
