“MySpace”**

Posted by TRO on May 3, 2008

I had so many reactions when watching this. First, I felt like a parent since I have had conversations like this with my sons. It really struck home when she said, “I’m not, like, young and, like, stupid” and started screaming. Been there, experienced that.

Then I started laughing at the comments of her brother. His “My Space” and “In the butt” snark even makes their mother laugh after a bit. But then the girl starts crying at the thought of her stupidity ending-up on the Internet and I felt bad for her.

But only for a moment because then I thought that being embarrassed in front of her friends and strangers alike may just teach her a lesson. Or not.

Hat-tip to Blowing Smoke.
