MySpace.com.

Shouldn't it be called PedophileStalking.com? Or TeenagersPlanningCrimes.com?

I wonder if I shouldn't go out and register those domain names? Nah! Best to keep a low profile.

Let's see what Fark.com has reported. On May 5, a Florida columnist made up a MySpace page for a local city councilman. Oops! Someone found it!

On April 21, FOX News (don't even start), reported that several students in Riverton, Kansas were arrested for writing on their MySpace site that they were going to shoot up their high school.

On April 18, Wired ran a story that said that sex offenders have created pages on the social web site to stalk teens.

On April 5, USA Today reported about two teenage boys who videotaped themselves firebombing an empty hanger who were arrested when they posted the video on their page.

A Wilson, NY teen was arrested for posting about bombing his principal's house. A Bensalem, PA student was arrested for posting a picture of himself holding a gun and a bag of pot.

What have we learned? Teens: Whatever you publish on the web, even if it's a joke, will be discovered and you will pay the consequences. Scum who prey on kids: Whatever you publish on the web, even if it's a joke, will be discovered and you will pay the consequences. You guys have to be more cutting edge!

But mainly, what we've learned is DON'T USE MYSPACE!
