“Bored” McCain
to Create Personal
MySpace Page

Saying he is “bored beyond tears” after losing the presidential election, Senator John McCain
today announced that he will be creating a personal MySpace page sometime this week. The
announcement came during McCain’s weekly conference call with reporters on Tuesday.
“Being on the campaign trail has really taken all my focus and time over the past year. Now that
it is over, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands, and I can not have idle time without
potentially hurting myself or others”, said McCain. “I’ve heard a lot about this MySpace thing,
and I figure it’s a good way to get to know some new people and occupy some of my free time”.
Reminded that he still has two years to serve in the Senate, McCain replied, “Come on, that takes
only a few hours of my time each day. I’m pretty much just going through the motions for the next
two years, anyway. After my daily work is done in the Senate, well, I find my mind wandering. I
figure that creating a MySpace page and spending hours a day writing a blog, reading other’s
blogs, and uploading (photos) to my page sounds pretty fun to me”.
When told of the news, MySpace founder Tom Anderson said he was “surprised” and “thrilled”
that the 72-year old McCain would have his own page in cyberspace. “The addition of John
McCain to MySpace will only increase our membership. I think.” said Anderson.
Some avid MySpace users are not so sure, however. Christy Rogers, also known as “hotgrll_76”
told The Blue Brick that she spends “about 4 hours a day” on MySpace and that she is “kinda
grossed out” that McCain will create his own page. “I mean, isn’t he like, 80 or something? The
last thing I need is another old pervert out there looking at my pictures and reading my blog. If he
wants to meet people online, he should create, like, CreepyOldMenSpace.com or something and
stay away from MySpace”, said Rogers.
McCain said that his page will not only include a daily blog, but “lots of goofy and fun pictures
from my past, as well as today”. He hopes to create clever captions to enter below each picture,
and is brushing up on his “e-speek” in preparation for the MySpace launch. “For instance, I just
learned that ‘lol’ stands for ‘laughing out loud’”, said McCain. “What a great way to convey your
message, only with less keystrokes. I always enjoy learning new things”.
Links to other websites that McCain enjoys, such as FoxNews.com, GlennBeck.com,
MichaelMedved.com, and Online-Scrabble.com will also be on his page. Visitors will be
encouraged to email the Senator directly, with McCain promising to return all messages
personally. “I really think this email thing is going to catch on”, said McCain, “and I want to be
on the leading edge of it”.
McCain said he chose MySpace over other popular social-networking sites because he sees it as
“more in touch with the American people” than sites such as Facebook.com. Said McCain,
“Facebook? OMG, everybody knows that Facebook is for haters and losers”.
