I believe it is, “Myspace, a place for friends”, not myspace, a place for mafia wars. For those of who you live under a rock, Myspace is a social networking site. It is pretty legit for the most part – I mean it set off Tila Tequila’s career. Need I say more? I think not. Which is why I’m saddened when I get an invite stating that so and so “wants you to join their mob in Mobsters, a mafia-style combat game played with you and your friends on Myspace.” Wtf?! Hahaha I’ll pass.

I feel I should write a letter to the infamous Tom.

Dear Tom,

I just want to start off by thanking you for creating and succeeding in making such a site where people can socialize and network themselves and their brands. I really appreciate your vision and congratulate you on your success (and ability to pull boy band type ass). With all your genius marketing tools, cool features, and accessibility I was just wondering, how such applications as say, “Mafia Wars” slipped through the cracks and now plagues my inbox daily? I believe this application serves no purpose other than to annoy the shit out of me(and further digress society and America’s already jaded youth). I would most appreciate it if you terminated it. Immediately.

Thank you.

I think its safe to say even with my persuasive and eloquent letter writing skills, mafia wars will see the light of tomorrow and the next day and the next. There are just too many damn gang members involved. I mean my ex’s middle aged brother in no-where Texas is a “Mob Boss” and regularly ask me to join his crew. It’s freaking every where. It is like one of those annoying trends like wallet chains, stunner shades, ridiculously huge sunglasses or tall t’s. Trends that I personally don’t understand but somehow surface and survive for a period of time. I look forward to the day where I can log on, lurk in peace, and not be bothered by some fool who thinks they’re cool because they’re involved in a virtual mob war.

((thanks to Mr.X and his brilliant input))
