I spent an inordinate amount of time on the internet tonight.  I went to MySpace, and….next thing I knew, it was tomorrow.  Here I thought YouTube was a time-killer. 

MySpace has become the net within the net.  I kinda bashed it in an earlier post, so I figured it deserved further inspection.  While I was at it, I registered my handle there, because I’ve protected it this far and why the hell not.  Managed to create 2 accounts and screw up both profiles.

Anyhow, I browsed around on the friends comments within various profiles.  It was like flipping through a high school yearbook, with a lot of personal weirdness and obscenity thrown in.   I saw some unappealing stuff there. For example, a picture of a hairy guy in women’s underwear, sticking himself into a truck’s exhaust tailpipe.  There’s worse stuff that I won’t describe. 

There was innocent stuff to be found, too, but here’s the analogy.  It’s like driving down the street and seeing a Toys R’ Us right next to an adult bookstore run by drug dealers. 

The humor in some circles was a cross between National Lampoon and a bad issue of MAD Magazine, combined with rejected episodes of South Park cartoons.

All that aside, the big draw for people is to have somewhere to BE.  And meet friends.  I can dig that.  I just wish some of the streets there were cleaner.
