You Can’t Fix Stupid - Myspace Marketers Note

Bloged in Search Marketing by semadvance Wednesday July 25, 2007

Myspace has found that it now has four times the amount of registered sex offenders as it did in May of 2007.

The number is pegged at 29,000 registered sex offenders who are registered members of Myspace.com.

I think this quote really sums up the issue.

‘This is horrifying’
“On the most basic level, this is horrifying,” said John Aristotle Phillips, CEO of Aristotle, a technology consulting firm that has developed age-verification for sites including Anheuser-Busch’s pioneering Bud.TV. “You have 29,000 convicted sex offenders milling around with kids on a website, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg because these are just the people who were stupid enough to use their real names.”

You Can’t Fix Stupid!!!!!

For me what I find most disturbing is that this does not get the attention or the public wrath that Michael Vick does with illegal dog fighting.

Doesn’t say much for Americas moral values…..
