Friendster Fights Fakesters 329
jerkface writes "Matchmaking/personal networking site Friendster is experiencing a 'problem'. Unruly individuals like John Locke, Socrates, Alf, and many incarnations of Jesus Christ are trying to take over the site, according to SFWeekly.com. For a few months, the 'fakesters' were mostly tolerated, so long as they didn't offend anyone with the images they posted. Fakester profiles exist claiming to be famous people (alive and dead), cities, buildings, abstract concepts, and - increasingly - Friendster CEO Jon Abrams. Abrams is now saying they're all going to be deleted because they ruin the site. Fakesters argue he's stifling the full potential of the site, and many people report that 100% genuine profiles have been deleted in the recent campaigns against fakesters."

When cancer is cured, it will probably be by Jewish doctors. When fusion is mastered as an energy source, it will probably be by Jewish physicists. As nanotechnology frees us from the burdens of scarcity, we will notice that a hugely disproportionate number of the innovators in the field are Jews.
Jon Abrams, if YOU are a Jew, you are NOT living up to your calling. Please reconsider your stance on fakesters immediately, or else you will become an "honorary" member of the inferior races.

No, you were right. It is half the fun. The other half is realizing that the "lady" is actually a 350 pound smelly Linux hippy in his mom's basement.

Besides, copying the naming gimmick merely increases the popularity of the naming gimmick and increases the demand for the original! It's like free publicity!
