NEWS: Informal Poll: Do You Give a Shit about Tom Anderson's True Age?

CULTURE: Informal Poll: Do You Give a Shit about Tom Anderson's True Age?

Yesterday, TechCrunch posted a story claiming that Tom Anderson - everybody's first friend on MySpace - is actually four or five years older than his profile and wikipedia page state.

My first reaction was, "Seriously, who gives a shit?" I mean, really: No one would have decided against joining MySpace just because Tom was a few years older. Does anyone really care about whether their social networking site was "created" by a 26-year-old, versus a 31-year-old? Then I started to wonder...okay, what was Tom up to during those four or five missing years? See, now that becomes interesting. Why has his true age been covered up? Because the marketing team thought it'd be more appealing if the face of the company was younger, or because Tom was up to something naughty during the years that got erased?

Whatever. I still kind of can't bring myself to care. Hit me with a juicy story of Tom's wherabouts during those lost years, and I'll be all ears, but otherwise, I couldn't care less.

What about you? Do you give a rats ass about Tom's real age? Do you have a hunch as to why they lied? And best of all, where do you think Tom was during the years that were erased?

I never felt so free as I did the day I deleted my myspace page. Ahhhh, freedom!!!

I think he is actually a 72 year old lesbian prison inmate with a vast career of hot-dog stand heists.

But that's just me.

Shit, if we can get used to our mothers doing it, I think we can get past's Tom's little indiscretion.

I am still in myspace and I met some nice people there, well, non one is a suicide girl, but some has piercing and nice tatoos.
For me Tom....who cares?

He wouldn't be the first person to lie about their age on the internet.

"He's" actually a 16 year old girls pretending to be a 37 year old man. She's trying to balance out the web a little.

i think my profile says i'm 97-years-old. which, of course, i am. i have oil of olay to thank for my dewy visage. so damn you tom. time to own up. perhaps he's trying to score with younger babes on the site?

People still use MySpace?

...Who?

So she's an antipedo?

WUUUUUUH?

like many other myspace users, his profile picture is also horribly outdated and deceptively flattering.
we used to run into him in santa monica all the time because he lived down the street from one of my friends.

so, not only is he older, he's also much more bloated.

Unexpected error.

people actually have tom on their friends list?

Antitpedsis.
Antitheped.
something.

I like how this was told to someone off the record, now it's here.

I only clicked on this because I was thinking of Tom ARNOLD. I was like "who gives a shit about Tom Arnold. I have to see what the big deal about Tom Arnold is." Aha.

that is the most amazing piece of information i have EVER READ.

That was my reaction too.

Obviously, I don't have a myspace page. The only online community I am a member of is Suicide Girls. It seems to be the only community that actually provides intelligence, news, comedy, art, fashion, ... the list goes on. Oh, and of course beauty! So no thanks Tom "whoever" and thank you Missy!!

To answer your questions in order:

-No.
-To cover up their secret robot-alien invasion.
-Training with underwater ninjas to better spy on dorm girls.

"Do You Give a Shit about Tom Anderson's True Age"

There, fixed it.

The only reason I'm on Myspace is to keep up with bands that don't keep their "real" sites updated. So.

Tom Who?

Why must Tom deny our secret love? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????????? I LOVE YOU TOM, SO MUCH LAGAGAHSGHJAHJASBJKASNJKNJKSANDJKANDKLSANKLNSA

OMG somebody on teh interwebs lied about their age?

That's it.

Shut 'er down.

If we don't have honesty on the internet, where are we???
