The idiots of MySpace, YouTube and Leeds criminals

• Exit Warning on MySpace - Tom MySpace Blog
  MySpace is infested with spammers, phishers and idiots. Rather than dump the phishers and spammers, they've decided to treat all users like idiots. And a huge number of their idiot users thank them for it. Gods I hate that site.

• Leedsâ™s dumbest criminal: posting crimes on YouTube
  Wow, how stupid is this? I'm not sure which is worse, that he did it, or that theyve banned him from giving them more evidence. Leeds Cllr says: 'Leedsâ™s dumbest criminal' which, given it's Leeds, is quite impressive.

I love MySpace. It serves the invaluable purpose of keeping all the morons in one place and away from the rest of the Internet.

This are good point. Unfortunately some of the users (like my old MP) aren't idiots. Same way that some of the comments on news are at times worth reading.

Ah well. Avoid it for the most part and go only when necessary seems to work.
