I had the…. pleasure?  of listening to the people that live above me squabble last night.  They chose 2am for the main event. Not wanting to be rude, I decided I might as well give them the attention they were obviously after.  (They have to realize although this is a ‘luxury’ apartment, the walls really aren’t that thick and they easily were training in the art of ‘thou who shout’est loudest wins.’)

Ever notice these relationship/domestic arguments always hit the same topics and same scripts?  Agenda Point 4, cheating.  Agenda Point 7, You’re a Crazy B$%ch.  It’s always the same.  One of these days it’ll get Dane Cook’ish with the ‘Are you out of your F’in mind.’  I’ll be there to hear some REAL sh%t drop in the league of you killed JFK, quit hiding the space alien under your bed, or I’m going to tell everyone that you stole my thongs.
  
However, after listening to this scripted break-up scene, I realized culture has managed to sneak in a new topic of argumentation.  I’m noticing more and more domestic fights/issues that bring in MySpace as evidence.  So and so posted this, such and such is higher than me on your top eight, this says you’re single etc. etc.

I ask you this – When will MySpace be a valid member of a jury trial?  Further, when will your Twitter acct., your blog, Digg profile or whatever be no longer a tool of your own self-branding, but evidence used against you?  Can you imagine an accused killer using his Digg voting or something as an alibi?   

You’re not in my top eight,
