Myspace deconstructed pt 2
Well I'm back at it. My scientific attempt to categorize the various species of the denizens of Myspace. As promised the next installment is....The Jersey Meathead.
Now first a little about the name. The Jersey meathead is not necessarily from NJ anymore than a Jersey cow has to be from England. Much like the breeding of dogs, this is an offshoot of both the serious athlete combined with the frat boy. So anyway the first thing that one sees on the Jersey Meathead page is going to be a picture of this guy with his shirt off or in a wife beater. The main feature of the picture is the striking of the "I'm so huge" pose. Now the car doesn't have to be in the picture but trust me it will be there somewhere. Next to the picture is the quote. Typically it is something self agrandizing. "You think you can handle this ladies?" or something of the like. Ususally the music of the Meathead has a very "Night at the Roxbury" vibe to it. This can be separated from the truly insane gym rat, by the fact that the hardcore dude will have some form of seriously hardcore music going. Anyway delving in to the picture file is quite revealing. If the car is not featured in the picture at the beginning, it will be featured at least twice in the photo section. One will be the car alone in all of its awesomeness and at least one with the meathead posing on the hood. The rest of the pictures are going to be devoted to the girls that they met at the club this past weekend and of course at least one professional picture of a playmate snuck in there to see if we are paying attention. Looking at the friend file you can see that the meathead only associated with other Meatheads. They will of course comment on the great pursuits of meatheadom: getting laid, driving fast cars and of course being huge. All of these things will be listed on the interests. Other interests include getting drunk trying to get laid and getting drunk. The only interests that are not found are attempting to get the knuckles off of the ground. That and crocheting quilts. Out in the real world one can identify the meathead by the booming (yet really bad) music coming out of the pimped stereo in the 1999 Camaro with the real working hood scoop. Also notable would be the shirt that is almost tight enough to allow one to see the guys internal organs.
Like I said these are not designed to reflect on anyone I know just what I have seen.
Next time.....The Goth chick

No one you know? Well it sure reminds me of someone!
All right, Jim. I get the point. I just thought everyone wanted to see how huge I was. And that my car is awesome.
