MySpace: a place for “friends.” Is that what they call themselves now? Thanks to Colin Poitras at the Hartford Courant:
Christopher Montefusco 30, of West Haven, was taken into custody Thursday by state Department of Correction officials. He was one of what is now believed to be more than 200 sex offenders in Connecticut using MySpace. He had registered two different profiles of himself on the site, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said.
Evidently the terms of Christopher’s parole had forbidden him from using “social networking” sites. Whoops. Finally, a reliable news source confirms what I always suspected: MySpace is full of stalkers and idiots. Please, someone, reassure me that MySpace is not a statistically accurate cross-section of the American population.
For what it’s worth, Facebook becomes nicer and more useful literally with each passing day.
