So for those of you Myspace obsessed kidz, you are probably no stranger to this stupid rule that everyone is expected to follow or else they will be shunned from myspace:
"Pc4Pc?"
Okay so everyone knows what pc4pc is; Pic for pic, meaning, "If you comment my pictures I'll return." Or in other words, "Show sum luvv, ya noe i show iit baq".
I bet you 20 bucks that if someone commented your picture right now you'd be like, "Oh noes I have to comment them back" because you think that it's required of you. And those of you who do the commenting, you're probably like, "Oh she has a picture let me comment it so she can comment mines so I can has 100 comments so all my friends* will be jelly." [*Myspace "friends" are not your real friends.]
So what I hate about this "rule" is that since you're practically required to pc4pc, that none of the comments you get are actually genuine. In the young myspace days, if someone commented your picture, it's because they actually do think that top looks cute on you or your hair is nice. But these days, if someone comments your pictures it's because they want MOAR COMMENTS.
What they say:
"Omg you look mad cute<3"
What they're really saying:
"Okay lets cut the crap, since I did you a favor and commented your picture now you have to comment mines. And you look like a fat cow."
If they're reallyyyy desperate, they'll even waste about 10 seconds of their life clicking the "post comment" button as many times as they can so they can "spam" you and you'll have to do the same.
"Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages."
-Wikipedia.
So what ends up happening is that someone sends you a comment saying that you're sooo pretty or that they're so jealous of those jeans, when they're really not. They might not even think you're pretty at all. They might think you look like chewed up hamburger meat. But your reaction is, "wow, they think I'm pretty?? =D" And then you go and comment them in return.
I mean, I'm not saying it's bad to comment someone's pictures after they comment yours, it's just that nowadays it's become like a ritual, and you never know if someone really means what they say or if they're doing it for the return comments. It's pretty dishonest, actually. I've seen people who have like 300 comments and I just think to myself, "300 people cannot possibly think you are that fabulous." I mean, they can, but it's just unlikely unless you're some type of celebrity.
And another thing is that people are just obsessed with this stuff. Like, they post sooo many bulletins just for a few comments. Like seriously, guys. Come on now. I thought you were better than this.
With me, if someone comments my pictures, sure, it's a nice gesture, so I'll go check out their pictures to see if they have any nice pictures as well. If they don't have any pictures that I find to be nice, I won't comment them. If they do have a nice picture, I'll comment them. Simple as that. I've had people actually delete their comments from my pictures because I didn't comment theirs. Like, okay, you obviously didn't mean what you said so it doesn't matter anyway.
So yeah. I'd rather choose 2 genuine comments over 1,000 fake ones anyday.
