Encouraging 87 Bad Deaths In PDF Elections

One of the stranger addictions I have developed, since starting this site, is bouncing around all the MySpace pages that turn up in our stats at the start of every month.

Still, to add to the overall oddity of it - MyDeathSpace, which chronicles all the MySpace pages of folks who have died and a couple of murderers to boot. It's creepy but strangely compelling - like the audition stages of a reality tv show. Actually though, it's handled quite tastefully aside from some too-dumb-to-realise-I'm-too-dumb-to-leave-comments-in-a-public-forum type comments.
