I looked into my friend base on MySpace and it occurred to me that there has been a large fluctuation of these internet celebrities. I receive daily requests from aspiring rappers, models, and just your everyday anybody looking to increase their "friends". These profiles usually consist of flamboyant images/self-made quotes/myspace angles/etc. With over 1 million+ people on MySpace, I've come to the conclusion that most of these people can't possibly be as well-known in their cities as they claim to be on the net. Mind you, its easy to weed out the real ones but a good 90% are just living out some kind of fame fantasy through an alter-ego to satisfy their lack of attention in life. Everyone at some point has had thoughts of a rich and famous lifestyle, but why do you feel the need to take pictures of yourself holding up money you probably just cashed from your paycheck you got from slaving at a burger joint? Then there's some people who just blatantly have the urge to update their every move (e.g. Twitter) and just want to gain followers so that they feel they have an audience. But do you actually care? Whatever happened to the philosophy of privacy? I like to keep my personal life separate from the internet for fear of all the crazies in the world. Every now and then you'll run across some underage kid taking pictures half naked to get attention or some random chick who idolizes Nicki Minaj so much that she dresses as her on Halloween with some form of her moniker in their headline. This duplicity from MySpace and Twitter has lead to the creation of these megalomaniacs and they need to be stopped. I can understand the whole "fake it until you make it" but a good portion of that 90% won't.
