The MySpace quest
After reading about the Wired article, where one of their crafty crew wrote a Perl-based script to parse criteria and weed out potential pedophiles on MySpace (leading to the arrest of one man), I thought I'd try and find out just how easy it is to get friends on MySpace while pretending to be somebody I'm not.
So here it goes.
The mission: Pose as a 15 year old girl on MySpace.
Aim: To get 100 friends within 7 days
Hypothesis: MySpace users are horny as hell, so I won't have a problem pulling this off
