2005 called. It wants its story back.

More than half of teenagers mention risky behaviors such as sex and drugs on their MySpace accounts, U.S. researchers said on Monday. [Researchers] said many young people who use social networking sites such as News Corp's MySpace do not realize how public they are and may be opening themselves to risks, but the sites may also offer a new way to identify and help troubled teens. "We found the majority of teenagers who have a MySpace account are displaying risky behaviors in a public way that is accessible to a general audience," said Dr. Dimitri Christakis of Seattle Children's Research Institute, whose studies appear in the journal Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine. In one of two studies, Christakis and Dr. Megan Moreno of the University of Wisconsin analyzed 500 randomly chosen MySpace profiles of 18-year-olds in 2007. Overall, 54 percent of the publicly available accounts they checked contained information about high-risk behaviors: 41 percent mentioned substance abuse, 24 percent sexual behavior and 14 percent violence.

Sex, drugs, and violence on MySpace? Now I've heard it all. I think it's time for me to say it one more time. Guys, CANCER STILL EXISTS! CURE SOMETHING PLEASE! THANK YOU!

ED: Dr. Christakis was the name of my childhood pediatrician. Could it be?

By now, I'm sure you've seen the Cingular commercial where the little girl and her mom speak in text message short hand. You know the one where the mom asks who she's texting all day, and the girl says "IDK. My BFF, Jill?"

I'm sorry but that girl is a big fat liar! Maybe I'm just turning into a major cynic but the first time I saw that commercial, all I could think was that girl was obviously trying to hide her secret relationship with the creepy old Saudi Arabian guy she met on MySpace!

"OMG! TISNF!!!"

"Having to chase your 13-year-old daughter to the airport to stop her from being kidnapped! That's what's SNF!"

We here at 1 Happy St. were trying to think of ways to reach a larger spectrum of people including people like convicts, she-males, sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebs, dickheads... and we could think of no better place to reach all of those people than MySpace.

What's the difference between flatware and silverware? And why would they call it FLATware? Spoons and forks are not flat. They wouldn't really work if they were.

Apparently, it now costs 1.2 cents to manufacture a penny. Shouldn't this be about the time that the universe colapses on itself?

Why do only Christmas and New Years get eve's? Screw that. Today is 4th of July Eve.

I got sucked into the final episode of Super Group last night. The most revealing scene was when Gilmore Girls regular, er... i mean Skid Row frontmant, Sebastian Bach, meets his fan (seriously, how many others could there be?) outside the concert venue. He appeared to be ashamed for her. Even he couldn't understand why she was so infatuated with him. Join the club, Sebastian.

What's more sad, that I'm 29 and I have a Myspace profile, or that one of my friends is my mom?

Is the World Cup over yet? Seriously, is it?

Which makes me think, if I'm David Beckham, why do I marry the ugly Spice Girl? Or maybe an even better question is, why do I settle for ONLY ONE of them?!

I got my son a Slip 'n Slide for his birthday. I couldn't help but think back to our old Slip 'n Slide when we were kids. Some kid from down the street ripped it when he went down it wearing jeans. JEANS! Damn you, Roy!
