myspace getting sluttier . . .

[quote name='Cow of Shame' date='Oct 4 2005, 11:44 AM']Hmmm...so, you don't mind supporting site that you *know* has smut on it, as long as you don't have to look at it?  Isn't that the same as going to bookstores/video stores that you know carry porn...just as long as they keep it in the back?

You don't write the check but they get paid by their advertisers (including the slutty ones) by the number of subscribers they have. This contributes to there "success" causing them to distribute more pornographic material to others who are not "immune" to them.

Ok well why doesn't everyone stop using Hotmail too? And Yahoo? I've seen similar ads there too...

I really don't even know why I'm defending myself here.

They should. Contributing to porn even indirctly is not defensable. It is an industry that enslaves women and men both.

I haven't noticed problems with blogger. I use it: [url="http://thethoughtsofthomas.blogspot.com"]http://thethoughtsofthomas.blogspot.com[/url]

I've used hotmail for more than seven years, but I am finding it to be increasingly objectionable. Not ou-and-out porn, but too many girls in skimpy bikinis, and too many suggestive couples and such. I'm a 21 year old guy, I don't need more sources of temptation, enough come to me unprovoked.

I look at myspace like a nightclub. It's cool to go in to evangelize, make a positive impact, etc. But I wouldn't send other people there. That's why phatmass is on myspace, trying to get as many "friends" as possible to promote phatmass.com, but you won't find any links on phatmass.com that link back to the phatmass myspace page...

good for you

and i think thessalonian brings up a good point. we support with our clicks because to them, clicks are money.

And I am really excited to see how many times the word slutty has been used here. Awesome!

[ninjakyle]

good point dUSt

I have never, and will never reccomend or link to myspace.

I wish they could just clean it up. It would be pretty cool if they would do that.

I wonder if there's anything that can be done about this..?

[thessalonian]

I had a somewhat less stingent opinion of all of this 10 years ago. But I have three daugherters and if anyone ever got them in to this kind of carp, you might be contributing to my incarceration as well. They are very cute and I truly fear for them that someone might lure them in to this ever increasing festering sore in our society. It is incredibly disordered and destroys lives. Not just the consumers of it but those who are forced or lured in to it. May God's justice be upon it!

I HATE myspace, I left cuz of those horrible adds. Ugh, sickening.

[crusader1234]

I don't get how anybody can realistically find myspace pictures sexually appealing anyways. I mean, call me crazy, but if a girl walked up to me looking like they do in their myspace pictures I'd run for the hills. Why? Because girls get insecure and take pictures from weird angles that hide their flaws, and then change the contrast and colours till all you can see are two little black nostril holes, huge sunglasses, oddly shaped lips, and oddly shaped cleavage. Basically if you ran into one of those girls in rea life you'd be looking at a 3 foot tall thing with chalk white skin, huge sunglasses so that you cant see half the face, two nostril holes with no nose, awkwardly pouted lips, and breasts that don't look like breasts. If you want to tap that, uh, seek help.

...is it wrong that I find this amusing...?

There must be a huge difference in what everyone saw compared to me. I didn't even know myspace had pornographic popups or popup at all to be more exact. Maybe it's because I have firefox? However, myspace has ads ON THE SITE that are sexy(most of which are dating site). This is found on many websites however and its going too far to boycott it because of that. The big problem is the PEOPLE on myspace. There are some people who have nude pictures on their myspace. However Myspace is AGAINST this and removes any myspace they see with nudity. It's not exactly the safest place to be as a teenage kid with raging harmones tho because sometimes you see random people naked.
