The MySpace Between Their Ears
It's been a while since I've railed on MySpace and the mockery is long overdue: I'll start with an unusual friend request I received a few days ago; It was from my mom. As if seeing my mom's mug on MySpace wasn't disturbing enough, she lists her marital status as "single." Hey, I know I'm bad about returning phone calls but there are better ways for parents to inform their kid about a divorce. They seemed so happy at our birthday celebration last week (sniff). I'm curious how she even found my MySpace page and I'm a bit concerned that she found it through this blog. I've always known there was a possibility ...

Oops!
Ok, I accidentally linked the MySpace page to my own site out of habit. My MySpace address is www.myspace.com/comedianjenee . Since this topic is lingering, I'll mention another email Bea just received: Subject: Hi Beatrice Message: Hi how are you iam S***** v*** I think you rock on the show because you are a Taurus like me Iam from Colorado and 16 you aree my favorite character. goodbye S**** V*** I checked out her page, thinking this had to be a prankster. Within three seconds I was sure I was right because it was the classic mockery of a teenage girl's site: sparkly things bouncing all over the background, Mariah Carey theme song, enormous pictures of parents, ...

The Real MySpace Page
So I had a little fun with the MySpace page. Sadly I've come to realize my niche in comedy is in fake profiles. Not a whole lot of money to be made there. While I did it strictly for amusement, I encountered a few situations that are appropriate fodder for this blog. As I discovered the first time I tried MySpace (Just "1 Friends" On MySpace), pretty much anybody will accept a stranger as a friend so the tally means nothing. Actually, when you're Bea Arthur, you only have to add a few friends and then the invites start pouring in. There were a few interesting email exchanges I thought I'd share. Invitee: Who are you and how do you know me? I don't add people i don't know (Clearly, this is a discriminating MySpace user). Bea: I'm Bea Arthur from tv's "Golden Girls." Invitee: Right. I'm sure Bea Arthur has a myspace account and adds random black men to her friends list. Seriously, how do you know me? And If you don't know me, why do you want to be my friend? I only accept the top applicants. He only accepts the "top applicants?" The guy's page features two full screen pictures of a girl's butt in a g-string. Bea Arthur's ass may not look as great, but she's certainly worthy of a lousy MySpace add. Fortunately for Bea, he must have temporarily relaxed his "applicant" standards and didn't even wait for a reply before adding Bea as a friend.

MySpace- Thank You For Being A Friend
As promised, I've thrown myself into the MySpace mix with guns blazing. I was really surprised how many of my close friends had MySpace pages and how many groups there are that cater to my very specific interests. I hope you'll check out my page and let me know what you think. I guess I should mention that the MySpace picture is a little more current than the photo on this site so it may come as a surprise to some of the regular readers: Jenée's MySpace page
