Letters from Myspace


I told you before about how NBC has swapped catching predators for gambling with them, so the fact that Shahram (Shawn) "Sheiky" Sheikhan is a convicted sex offender should be no surprise. Now, to be fair his 1995 conviction didn't land him on a public notification system... but it did almost get him deported. <--pdf of deportation from Nevada Courts, Evidence Finding here, More Legal Docs here-- and it's been written about by enough media outlets that NBC can't claim they didn't know.

But that's not my point. Cause we've already talked about that. Instead, I have yet another complaint... You see, because he has a MySpace account, I thought it in the best interest to notify MySpace that he had a sexually related conviction for crimes against a minor. So, I reported his page, and sent along a good half dozen related links as evidence of his conviction. And they responded...

Hum... the content has been removed? Interesting, because when I click over to his profile- I still see it, which usually is only the case if it still exists. Which leads me to believe that... OMG MySpace LIED! I know, freaking shocking isn't it? But, I mean- we can't be shocked- not really. After all, if a Network that touts itself as being the start of the movement behind getting sexual predators off the net can turn around and have one starring in a featured show (and getting paid/making money to do it) then we can't be surprised that another company would lie about removing him from their network.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

The Beating Death Of a Child

Michael Porter was arrested Thursday for the death of his two year old stepdaughter. He is accused of striking the little girl in the abdomen earlier in the week causing blunt force trauma and inflicting deadly wounds. The little girl was described as having significant bleeding in her intestines and bruising on her ribs, the front of her chest, side and back. Records indicate that she had bruises in other areas of her body and medical examiners believe she suffered from possible kneeing, punching or squeezing. Kelsey Smith Briggs dies hours before her father was due to return from serving in Iraq. Port has recently filed divorce papers on Rae dawn Porter, the little girls mother. The bond has been set for $1 million, after he plead not guilty in court Friday morning to charges that he killed the toddler, Kelsey Briggs. The judge in the case has issued a gag order for everyone in the case. You may have to register Video, grandparents speak out , grandmother report the abuse without any...
