You know Tom? You should. If you have a MySpace profile, he’s your friend, or was at one time. According to Newsweek, he lied about his age. Dig this:
According to public documents obtained by NEWSWEEK—including professional license information, voter registration and utility and telephone service applications—Anderson is five years older than he claims. His online profile currently lists his age as 32, but it appears he was actually born on Nov. 8, 1970, meaning he’ll turn 37 next week, not 33. (Happy birthday, Tom!)
OK, big deal. The news just means that Tom was the first person to lie about his age on MySpace. He certainly wasn’t the last. But if you’re like me, you deleted Tom as your first act of patriotism after setting up your profile. Then, you likely lied about your age. I didn’t. I have nothing to hide. But a lot of people are claiming to be 99 years old, and some of them don’t look a day over 16. At least Tom got a little closer to his real age than that.
Truth be told, I’m with Caroline McCarthy - who the hell cares! Give us some real news.
