MYSPACE KILLS

Not that I hold any particular love for MySpace, the Geocities of the subscriptkiddie set, but have you ever seen a more blatant call to kill the messenger? My favorite quote:

“‘It just seems to me that if you put up a public web site, and you allow students, teenagers, minors to post their thoughts and ideas, and not monitor it in an adult manner, you are asking for trouble,’ Gonzales said.”

This man is in charge of a school district. Thoughts and ideas! My God! Who let them have those!

Update 11.10.2005 1519 hrs: Adam’s priceless comment:

“MySpace isn’t even the messenger in this case – it’s the medium. In other news, local school district sues air for allowing the ‘verbal’ transmission of thoughts and ideas between teenagers!”
