Couldn't understand it either. Well... I could grab some of the meaning. But mostly what I couldn't understand is why someone would ever write in such a manner on a public profile. It's like advertising that you're a moron. Or is that what the kids are into these days?

You mean you were able to actually read them? They seem to be in some sort of foreign language whose origin I can't identify.

From a brief look at "mocospace.com," it would appear that it's a dating site for teens, rednecks, and ghetto types. Some of the profiles on there- wow.

The victim had responded to an ad on the mocospace.com social networking Web site allegedly posted by a woman seeking "emotional and financial support," Hey, the ad didn't lie. Technically. At least the "financial support" part...

WTH is "mocospace.com"? You kids these days. With dating sites, just like with everything else, if it seems too good to be true, it is.

from the merc: The victim had responded to an ad on the mocospace.com social networking Web site allegedly posted by a woman seeking "emotional and financial support," said Hayward police Sgt. Steve Brown. The victim, whose identity is being withheld by police, agreed to meet the woman at the Islander Motel on Mission Boulevard around 11 p.m. Almost immediately after the victim entered the room, two men emerged from hidden locations and began to beat him. The woman also joined in the attack, police said.
