MySpace Messes

In the past few years, MySpace has done one other important thing aside from become a haven for sex predators: It has been a huge outlet for both inspiring musicians and major stars to pimp themselves as much as possible.

I know that ever since the gaming media got their hands on “Grand Theft Auto IV” a couple of weeks ago the superlatives have been flying faster and harder than a hail of bullets, but I can’t in good conscience not join the chorus after having logged over 24 hours of play having only had the game in my hands for five days.
