MySpace, yeah, we realize we talk about it a lot, but let's be honest, if you're between the ages of 10 and 35 you at least know what it is, even if you don't use it (although most of you do). It's the best place around still to look for new bands and keep tabs on some of your favourites, connect with other fans, etc.

Sometimes though, being able to be in touch with these bands like this leads people to think that, well, they're actually in touch with these bands. And this can lead to embarrassing, yet hysterical consequences.

Caity and I were cruising around the site the other night trying to top each other's screen capped comments and... you know what? We decided to share it with you guys.

Enjoy!

: I'm starting with one found on the Fall Out Boy MySpace

: Wow... Just wow. Nick Jonas is a Spammer? hmmm....

: Not only a Spammer, but a Spammer on the Fall Out Boy MySpace. That's my favourite part.

: I agree! That's pretty intense. Hey: do you think he wants us to add his personal myspace?

: ...I don't know, I think he'd keeping the link pretty close to his chest here...

: It's a little vague...

: He's a subtle kid.

: Okay: my first pick is from the Panic! At the Disco myspace

: ...holy spellcheck batman.

: I'd like to point out that Polka-dot leggings, and denim skirts, and pink teeshirts with painted on ties and rainbow head bands and converse shoes narrows it down to about every single young girl in the entire audience.

: Caity, what's a sucritie guard? and... yeah... every girl under the age of 16 at a Panic show... I mean... I wore my faded torn up jeans, hole in the left knee, mind you, with a black tanktop with no design on it whatsoever, and a white dress shirt that was two sizes too big for me, along with my hair, which was red at the time, pulled back into a loose ponytail. I also had more piercing's at the time? And I had green and black make-up, and... oh, I was in the back of the club, next to... ... ..."sucritie guards"...

: I bet they remember you! Totally!

: Oh man! REALLY?

: Well you WERE next to the sucritie guards....

: Woo

: What do you have next?

: I haaaaave something found on the My Chemical Romance MySpace

: Being from Argentina excuses some of the grammer. I'm not so sure that being from Argentina and speaking Spanish covers tAlKiNg lyKe diS! omG! That literally took me a long time to read, it confused me.

: i DoN't KnOw CaItY. i ThInK iT's OnE oF tHoSe ThInGs YoU jUsT gEt UsEd To!

: I was trying to find a pattern, some reason for the capital letters, and at first it seems like OnlY thE vOwEls get capitalized, and then there are also H L S capitalized as well, so my new theory is that she was typing, and had a tick in her pinky finger that just caused spasms on the shift key at random intervals.

: I think that has to be right, because there seems no rhyme or reason to the capitals...

: Well, my next one ALSO comes from the My Chemical Romance MySpace...

: ... so... ... ... intense much? running on the assumption that concussion doesn't mean that... you know.. she flicked him in the ear or something.

: I thought so! Can you imagine if we gave concussions to everyone that disagreed with us? I would just be running around concussing everyone all day long.

: I know you would, and that's a scary concept! ...Especially when you were in Maine! Holy EFF. You'd have concussed the majority of the STATE.

: For reals. Not to mention, what's the point of this comment: to garner attention? to be "so totally hardcore"? Do you think they LIKE the fact that you concussed someone? Also: that's a hell of a concussion to be in the hospital for 5-7 days, how did she not get arrested? Assault and Battery anyone?

: That's a good point... I didn't even think of that... Minor protection?

: Hmm... Perhaps. I'm wondering if the concussion isn't more of a coma... being in the hospital for 5 - 7 days. ALSO: 5 - 7? was it 5... 6... or 7? It's not like "I'll be in the meeting for four to six hours...." He either got released after five days, six days, or seven days.

: ... If she gave him the concussion because he didn't like My Chem, I believe she didn't care enough to know when he was released... she probably hasnt had her court date yet. She'll find out then.

: Hmmm, you have a point. Then how did she know that he was in there for five to seven days? I call bullshit.

: Seconded!

: All right, let's see what you've found...

: Porcelain and The Tramps

: I most definitely WILL "Mock [your] words".

: hahaha! I think I will too!

: There should be a rule against MySpacing while drugging.

: That's how bad decisions are made and relationships broken

: The bad decisions started when he picked up the PCP, I would assume...

: good point...that and horrible assignments of your top 8.

: Sound Faction PSA: Put down the PCP, and move away from Myspace. Forever.

: Seeeeeeriously.

: All right, my next one was found on the Fall Out Boy MySpace

: was it Nick Jonas again?

: You know what? ...it might be...

: ........ I ...wow. I... don't even know what to say WAIT. IS Fall Out Boy touring with The Jonas Brothers? ...I'm SO confused right now.

: This kid is demanding. Let's recount: 1) Work with Timbaland 2} Let me write a song for you 3) Design Mens Clothing 4) Record with the Jonas Brothers 5) Record with Paramore

: That is a pretty long wish list

: And I really don't keep up with the Jonas Brothers, so I have no idea if they're touring together or not.

: and can I bring up that that song he loves? Sk8er Boi? uhhhhhhh ....Avril Lavigne. Not even the same SEX OF VOCALIST, dude.

: Once again kids: Put down the PCP and step away from Myspace...

: ...And the Vodka. Don't forget the Vodka. Drunk MySpace-ing isn't any better than PCP MySpace-ing (okay, maybe a little better, but my point stays the same)

: I just googled Abbey Dawn and it's Avil's clothing line, too.

: Really? ... huh.

: I think this kid got confused and posted a comment for Avril on Fall Out Boy's myspace

: HA! So maybe AVRIL is touring with The Jo-Bros?

: Google co-signs this theory.

: *nod* it does indeed ....so... double check who you're posting to before... clicking the final post button, kids.

: The internet is going to lol at you. Don't worry, we'll blur your name. Let's see what you've got Manda

: ... Fall Out Boy again!

: hmmm, a trend?

: I see it.

: Over 70 songs, bitches!? Holy cow. Manda... how will I ever compete for "grEaTesT FOB faN eVAr!!!!!!!!!1"?

: I don't know, Caity... but I just checked my iPod and... I have over 70 FOB songs too... including remixes and the like.. and I know them all, too. And! I have other bands complete repertoire memorized too! ...does that make me special, too?

: You are in the few elite, it seems... now you get to overuse exclamation points as well and call everyone bitches!

: BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

: .....I promise I'll never do it again, Caity.

: I would appreciate that. Would it be overkill if I had another Fall Out Boy tragedy tag?

: ...Possibly, but you know what? There IS a theme here, so you can use one more if I can later as well.

: Deal.

: ....man loaf, eh?

: There is literally everything wrong with that gag-worthy tag.

: ...I think so. And sure, Pete Wentz is attractive, I won't deny that, but... I wouldn't go so far as to call him the, ahem, "hottest man alive. ...THE HOTTEST." ...just sayin'.

: Would you call him a hot slice of man loaf?

: ...no. No I would not.

: Men, like meat, should never come in the form of "loaf".

: It's true Loaf is unattractive.

: Co-signed. What've you got next?

: It's not Fall Out Boy! But it's close ...Panic at the Disco

: ...did you know that, Caity? Since the BEATLES?

: I'm willing to put money on the fact that she doesn't know every single band since the Beatles. At least a dollar on that.

: I'm going up that to FIVE dollars, Caitybutt.

: That's pretty intense, but all right. I'll spring for that. I feel like there should be a daytime drama about this party business. What will her father say?? Will she make it to the concert? Will she have to spend the night at a PARTY?? Tune in next time to see the next four hours of agonizing decision-making.

: Hahaha, I don't know man, if I had to choose between a PARTY or a CONCERT... I'd pick the concert. There would BE no decision making process...

: We'll have to find out what her dad says and give everyone an update. Because MySpace is serious business.

: srsbsns.

: My next one comes from a super serious HIM fan on the HIM MySpace...

: Oh my.

: Oh my! I guess I, am a poser. Seeing as I like BOTH bands.

: Top 8 is also serious business.

: Top 8, srs bsns.

: For all the TRUE fans who base their feelings off of your MySpace Top 8, you MUST remove My Chemical Romance.

: *nod* It's true. Because, you know, you just CAN'T like HIM and MCR at the same time you just can't do it.

: Poser.

: .....damn.

: That's it for me, I couldn't take anymore myspace searching, I was starting to lose braincells. It's on you know, what did you find?

: well I have a few more that we can kind of share

: Sounds good

: I love that she wrote Pete Wentz off, for a Jo-Bro

: Me too. Don't tell the other girl who wants his man loaf. she'll get mad.

: Manda, you're not my best friend anymore. I saw this picture of Abe and I decided it was all about him now. Sorry.

: ... Abe is a very pretty boy. I understand, Caity. *Sigh* I'll take it in stride.

: Thanks for understanding. You're a pal. Not my best pal, but a pal.

: *nod* A pal indeed.

: OMG I LOVE UR NEW HAIRCUT! YOU ARE SO MY BFF AGAIN!

: OMGYAY!
