With this new service being launched, it just increases our ever-mounting dislike of MySpace. With Fakeyourspace you basicly buy friends who will comment on your profile every now and again. For only $.99 a month, you basicly get two comments a week from your new friend.

All of the available friends are semi-hot people with very little clothing. It is also quite evident that most of these “friends” are obvious fakes with very fake pictures. So all in all, this is just silly - although we’ll take nothing away from the creators as this could yet prove to be very profitable for them. The bottomline is that all the MySpace kiddies want to be popular and this is an easy and affordable way of doing it.

But, to us, this is also where MySpace absolutely fails in its mission (or is some’s viewpoints, where it thrives like hell). To me, the original idea of MySpace was to create personal profiles to use for interacting with real friends. If MySpace has become all about popularity, then certainly the interaction between friends has been lost? Maybe I’m being a silly little boy without my own MySpace, but this is just stupid.
