| Letters, 11/29: The dangers of MySpace
I read on Nov. 18 the article called "MySpace hoax ends with teen’s suicide."In the article I was extremely shocked by the behavior that was going on over the computer site MySpace. I personally do not have a MySpace page specifically for that reason.This article is just one of the many horror stories I have heard about the site. Not only are there people — adults and children — making "false pages," there are predators, and without truly knowing the person you don’t know who it might be. .
Nadine's Bad Boy Chat
Ladies, gents, Nadine Coyle fans, we'd like to introduce Nadine's ideal man. But there's only one teensy problemo. At this stage he's just a description, or rather let's think of him as a figment of words. Why? Well, Nadine told the Sunday Mirror: "My ideal man is someone dark and mysterious. Someone with a bit of an edge, a bit of a bad boy. "The whole game - as I think of dating - is you want to take someone who's a wee bit wild and a wee bit unruly, then have a nice relationship and for them to show their sensitive side - but for them to still have that bad boy edge to them." My, but doesn't all of the above sound like a certain hunk she used to date, in the form of Jesse Metcalfe? The pair broke up earlier this year, but seem to have remained friends, and have been photographed out and about a couple of times of late.
Log on and fall into the arms of your perfect political match
HERE'S some disconcerting news: the most democratic thing you can do this Saturday is let someone else tell you how to vote. Confused? You needn't be. Last week, the political activist group GetUp! launched a new web page that takes the guesswork out of voting by playing Cupid with citizens and candidates. The website, www.howshouldivote.com.au works like a computer dating site. Lonely voters simply enter their vital statistics (in this case postcodes rather than chest circumferences), answer a bunch of questions (views on corporate taxes rather than views on athletic Piscean divorcees) and voila: GetUp's crazy love-bug computer sends you the mobile phone numbers of 10 horny housewives in your area ... sorry, I mean a personalised how-to-vote card for the House of Representatives.
