Age verification on MySpace
And I'm not quite sure how MySpace is supposed to do things like implement an "effective age verification system," as demanded by Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann. What would that involve? A pop-culture quiz? (If you can't name the top three "American Idol" contestants, you're out.)
WTF?
A lot of MySpace users live outside the U.S., and therefore are unlikely to know anything about American Idle. For example, dozens of UK pop artists (Lily Allen, maybe you've heard of her?) have MySpace pages. Why would you expect any of these people to know anything about American Idle? Not everyone that uses MySPace is a clueless, culturally-challenged high school sophomore, it just seems that way.
