Okay just kidding, I have the best friends in the world, I’m sure they only lie to me when absolutely necessary. Anyway, moving onto the actual news story…
It seems that Tom from Myspace (just in case you were wondering, I defriended him within minutes of getting my Myspace account) has been - wait for it - lying about his age. Gasp!
But it turns out that Tom, who, along with cofounder Chris DeWolfe, made a fortune when News Corp. bought MySpace for $580 million in 2005, may have a secret: his real age. According to public documents obtained by NEWSWEEK—including professional license information, voter registration and utility and telephone service applications—Anderson is five years older than he claims. His online profile currently lists his age as 32, but it appears he was actually born on Nov. 8, 1970, meaning he’ll turn 37 next week, not 33.
Rumors about Anderson’s age began to spread last week, when the blog TechCrunch suggested that he was 36 or 37. Anderson and MySpace declined multiple requests for comment, and the company would not confirm his birth date. “I’m pretty bummed out about it,” says 25-year-old Andrew Haynes, a Seattle comedian. “I’ve always taken MySpace with a grain of salt, but Tom was my first friend. It’s kind of messed up that he lied to me.” Either way, he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
It is messed up. Almost as messed up as my 14 year old sister claiming she’s 84 on her Myspace. Dubya-tee-eff, people? Can we not just be honest about how old we are? Anyway, this whole entry is pointless because Myspace is the scum of the earth - Viva la Facebook!!
