Hon­esty on the Internet

    Honesty on the Internet?Do you need a hot look­ing “friend” to enhance your page with pho­tographs and com­ments? There’s a site called FakeY­our­Space that allows you to hire attrac­tive mod­els for 99 cents a month. For that fee you can pick your friends and even spec­ify exactly what com­ments they should post. You’ll get two posts a week and each addi­tional pur­chase of the same model sim­ply dou­bles the amount of com­ments you’ll get in a week.

    I should’ve come up with this idea. Turn­ing cyber-losers into social net­work­ing mag­nets, that’d be some­thing to brag about. Well, I for one don’t like this kind of social net­work rep­u­ta­tion hack. It’s bad enough that peo­ple Honesty on the Internet?start to think of the cyber­space as some kind of real-world replace­ment. You never know for sure if some­body tells you fic­ti­tious sto­ries or plain truth. That reminds me of this famous car­toon which is still some­thing to laugh about. Well, nowa­days even more so.

    Per­son­ally, I think that’s dis­gust­ing. What’s the use in pre­tend­ing to be some­one you really aren’t? Sooner or later you’ll be exposed and every­thing you lied so hard for is gone. What’s next? Start­ing a new secret iden­tity, book­ing other mod­els to bring some con­tent to your blog/page? If that’s the case it’s a sad world we live in.

      But what hap­pens when two lying cyber losers get together under the guise of meet­ing their dream mate? Per­haps this a way for the socially inept to meet oth­ers like themselves . . .

      Chances are that they don’t like what they get to see. And what are the odds that two cheaters get together under these conditions?

      Apart from the cheaters, I don’t like the easy way of get­ting rep­u­ta­tion by pur­chas­ing a bot – at least, I believe this whole com­ments busi­ness is auto­mated – who posts under the guise of a model.
