MySpace is full of fakes!

Someone in the pissarmy posted a myspace page as Ministry, IN THE BANDS SECTION, and used a bunch of their music on the page (http://www.myspace.com/ministry). Now there are hundreds of people out there leaving messages for “Ministry”, thinking they are talking to the band. My favorite one - “say hi to Paul for me!” I’ve seen this crap with a lot of celebrities (like Brad Pitt or someone is really going to have a MySpace!), but this just really pissed me off. There are numerous fan pages, with disclaimers like “I am not David Bowie, this is a fansite”, but they actually had the audacity to post this in the music section, reserved for the bands themselves. There is, if you’re wondering, a real Ministry page, put up by Sanctuary, at http://www.myspace.com/ministrymusic

Yeah, its the same thing as the old “fakesters” on the Friendster network. Some people just love being an impostor.

http://www.myspace.com/ministrymusic is the official one.

Wait a minute??? Are you telling me that people on the internet sometimes claim to be people that they aren’t???

THough it looks like the /ministry one has been taken down :slight_smile:

Yeah, yeah, I know that sounded naive, but I didn’t want to start a thread called “MySpace is full of cockgobbling identity thieving cunts”. I like the HypoLuxa one, in the bio he says he signed to WaxTrax AFTER With Sympathy (yeah, I know he went back, keyword being BACK). That one gets an A for effort, but people really have to know every little detail if they wanna pretend to be a rock star.
Anyone on here that actually knows (or has at least met) Al should start sending messges. “Hey, remember that one time…?” See if they reply!
Edit: Oops! Apparently the “official” one was Afra’s doing, and not the record company. My bad. Go support it now.
“America! Home of the free! 4th of July! Apple pie, ho!”

Better still, people that DON’T know Al should message the guy and try to reminisce about ridiculous things.
“Hey Al, remember in '83 when we all got drunk and tried to sneak into the zoo?”
