thanks once again to valdis for turning me on to this gem, and damn (!) - wouldn’t mama be proud! this is about a new social networking site called shagster…now, i’ve written about the social networking parodies before (some really nice ones in there, the faineant amongst you might consider wasting time reading that particular post)…however, this site actually has a quasi-serious nature about it…

…from shagster, ” Shagster.net is a site to keep track of your sexual conquests, and give them a rating out of 10 for their troubles….How It Works: Once you’ve registered with the site, you can log in and start adding people to your list. You can search the current members database for your past partners, or invite them with a friendly email telling them a bit about the site. Of course due to the nature of the site they other person must ‘consent’ to be added to your sordid list, so we give them the opportunity to decline your request…Once someone has consented to being shown on your list, you are also added to their list, and may then view their list at will to see if you spot any familiar faces.”

the point? well, now you can finally confirm for yourself that it wasn’t just in your head, she actually was sleeping with everybody! brilliant use of technology…brilliant..and they keep saying that social networking is an industry in decline (duh, assholes, the internet itself is a network)…

…the moral of this story, in the words of the dead genius elliot smith, “mama said ‘baby stay clean…there’s no in between.’”

Some similar nonsense, if you like that kind of thing:
