I emailed a link to a friend in Oklahoma. He says, “That’s nothing, we got…” I thought he was whoosing me. [WTF?](http://www.courttv.com/trials/thompson_donald/092605_ctv.html) ---

Old news, **Carn**. We already covered that a couple of years back and finished it over the summer.

[QUOTE=Alma] Huh? Care to explain that? [/QUOTE] I have to agree with **DianaG**. MySpace is way beyond us 40-somethings who remember a time before the internet and sharing every last personal detail of your life with any stranger who wants to look. It’s a site geared at a much younger demographic, or at 40-somethings who wish to pretend they’re still hip by maintaining a MySpace page. ---

Oh now, come on! “Old” people can still be “hip.” I personally don’t think there’s anything cool about MySpace for any age group. It’s just another site for posting drivel. It does seem to be geared towards a younger group, sure. But younger does not automatically mean cooler. Look at Dean Martin! 😛 Yes, I also think this woman was a bit over the top. She fits a niche, tho. Maybe call it a fetish niche? Regardless of how delusional or hip she may be, though, the REAL stupidity shows in the reactions of these small minded small towners. (BTW, small towners can show up anywhere, even in big cities of blue states. It’s an attitude problem, not a place problem.) ---

Hey, I’m plenty hip. I just recognize that having a Myspace page at 35 is the \*opposite \* of hip. It’s tacky and desperate. And lame. ---

Huh, to me what’s lame is choosing something like whether someone has a myspace page as a reason to feel superior to them. It’s like the high school kids who thought they were cool because they hated the preppies. ---
