Fictional MySpace Profiles - The Fun Way To Use Myspace

Last time I wrote about fake Myspace profiles and how they suck. I also mentioned an article at burntpickle.com that discusses the phenomenon. That article is great, but it could be dangerous in the wrong hands…

How do I know that? From experience. I’ll get back to this in a bit, but for now I’ll talk a bit about fictional profiles.

Fictional profiles, not to be confused with fake ones, are not meant to deceive. They are meant to humor people and just be fun. At least that’s how I look at it. It’s a great way to express creativity and goof around!

What are fictional profiles? These are profiles of people like Ronald McDonald, Colonel Sanders, SaTom Hussein, etc. Other profiles are made for inanimate objects like beer or sex. There is no doubt that it is not actually Ronald McDonald running his profile - it’s just some kid (or someone young at heart) screwing around.

The people running these profiles actually take care of them and have fun talking to other fictional characters. It’s actually a lot of fun and you meet cool new people, which is the point of Myspace if I remember correctly. I know, because I made up some profiles like that - and I just love getting comments saying how cool and funny a profile is! (Yeah, I should have been a stand-up comedian, but I ended up a bitter old internet marketer…)

Back to the burntpickle.com article… If you checked it out, you probably saw the picture you could post for a comment on obviously fake profiles. That’s great for the people who know how to spot a fake profile. But one day (before I had ever heard of burntpickle,) I found that image in one of my comments on one of my well-liked profiles. Needless to say, I was pissed off. I still am.

Those are the people who should not be reading burntpickle. The dude added me, left the comment, then deleted me. What a bitch move! I even sent him a message later, but didn’t get a response. I guess he just wasn’t very friendly.

It just worries me that people will start reporting anything and everything. Kind of like how your competitors can click on your Adsense ads and report your site. (Joke’s on them though, because if your site is legit, Adsense will crack down on the person who reported you!)
