Friendster blows.

Some things can keep you awake at night. For example, I can't get over the fact that there are so many idiots on friendster. I just don't understand why anyone would post photos of them in a position that would attract numerous internet stalkers.
 
Put it this way, if you put up photos of you in a two-piece, or topless with your sixpack (if you're a guy), surely you would have the common sense to at least set your profile to private right? But no, some people would leave it as it is, and as a result, you get thousands of horny 30 year olds, hunchbacked and drooling in front of their office computers.. and masturbating to your photos.
 
This scares me. Mostly because of the fact that I used to work in an office full of those kind of people. You know what else is wrong about this? It's the fact that a sad, pathetic 12 year old girl in Surabaya that craves for hundreds of online friends in Friendster, could copy the photos of a popular profile and create a 'clone' profile. You know why this disturbs me? It's because most of her friends actually believe that this profile is hers.
 
I don't think I can run out of things to despise out of online social networking websites. I don't like the fact that I've been stalked by a couple of girls from some obscure little town in Indonesia that I know has no internet connection at all. Fucking disturbing, that. You know what else disturbs me? MSN messenger. What's the deal with saying 'hahaha' or 'hihihi' in MSN. What does it mean? Does it mean that you're actually laughing? And I don't get the fact that there is a social norm to small-talk your way in msn before driving into your main point. I hate small talks. Even in the real world. Please get to the point.
 
The sad thing is, MSN messenger is the most convenient way to ask your classmates about an assignment. And Friendster? It just pays to have 800 friends. It's called feeding your ego, and when that happens, it feels so good. So good..
