Exposing oneself: Cleaning up MySpace

Joshua Longobardy

For good reason, Nevada was one of several states whose attorney general’s office sent letters earlier this month to the folks who run MySpace, requesting information on the sexual offenders the website has tracked through its innovative software from Sentinel Tech Holding Corp. MySpace general counsel Mike Angus announced that not only would the website turn over the information, but that it had already deleted from its database the profiles of  7,000 sexual offenders.

“We have zero tolerance for those creeps,” Angus said. “We don’t want them on our sites.”

Amen, brother. But don’t stop there. Here’s five more sets of creeps we’d like to see banished from MySpace, in no particular order:

    

1. Identity thieves—Because Napoleon Dynamite was more convincing when he claimed the picture that came with his wallet was a glamour shot of his out-of-state girlfriend.

2. Shirtless dudes —Put your shirt back on: You’re scaring off all the chicks.

3. MySpace addicts—For, in the end, it’s only going to help them.

4. Anyone over the age of 25—Women: That’s just pathetic. Men: You’re not far from getting snagged by Sentinel Tech.

5. Young whores—There’s 7,000 creeps out there claiming you’re just as culpable as they are.
