This is interesting and sad all wrapped up into one ...
Friends for SaleJG
Social networking web sites have put new pressure on kids to measure up. After all, if your MySpace.com page doesn’t list many friends, people may think you don’t have any friends.
Online entrepreneurs have responded with a service that lets introverts “buy” friends for a small monthly fee. FakeYourSpace.com allows you to buy friends, complete with photos and comments, for only 99 cents per friend per month.
Brant Walker, the 26-year-old founder of FakeYourSpace.com says he thought of the idea while cruising MySpace pages and noticing that “some people had good looking friends, and others didn’t.” He says his page can “turn cyberlosers into social-networking magnets.”

Unbelievable...shows you how far some are willing to go to make a buck, and how far some are willing to go to make or keep an appearance.

Josh, I have never left you a comment but this one deserves one! I can't believe that we are in a world that teaches our children that it is more important to have "more friends" on myspace than developing close relationships with the important people in their lives! I hurt for these kids that are buying into this...I guess it's ministry security..LIFE HURTS, but it breaks my heart!
