MySpace hottie ID theft spawns video meme
[via] When MySpacers photos and pages are borrowed/copied/hijacked by would-be impersonators, the owner of the original account -- typically a young, attractive girl -- appeals to the social network's admins to shut down the fake accounts. In order to prove their identity, the MySpacer makes a video of themselves repeating their MySpace ID tag.
It's a bizarre but necessary process -- analogous to soliciting meatspace credit reporting agencies -- that's indigenous only to MySpace. YouTuber haggardtown collated a few of these videos, and the result is the eerily beguiling video Proof.
Now this is cool, weird and freaky all at the same time.
