MySpace Bomb Threat Closes Seattlest Offices

MySpace's bag of evils to date includes all manner of sexual assualts, rapes, molestations, and the like. If the news promo is likely to make you send the kids to bed early, MySpace has probably perpetrated it at some point and, ironically, is probably perpetrating it against your very own offspring, via the computers you installed in their rooms at the very moment you're watching the report. Cut the cable! Board up the windows! Stash a loaded 9 in the Tupperware drawer near the back door! MySpace is stalking the streets!

It isn't MySpace. It isn't the internet, and it isn't our molding moral fabric. It's just some asshole, same as it ever was. MySpace got some headline room in the P-I over the weekend when a bomb threat closed Clover Park High School up in Lakewood. Pardon, a MySpace bomb threat. The papers are a little less guilty of splashing MySpace across headlines - The main scaremongers are generally the TV outfits, but the papers do their share as well here, here, here, here, here, and here. And that's just June.
