Are you the victim of a fashion faux pas?

Do you have more holiday sweaters than you can count? Worse yet, has your collection grown so big simply because you can't bring yourself to toss all the old sweaters out?... like from the 80's???

If so, then listen up... You're in luck. This is the year of "the ugly sweater"!

Recalling the gaudy styles of the late '80s and early '90s, holiday-sweater parties bring out the kitschiness of one-time high style. --Source

To give you a better idea of what I was talking about here, I went to Pinkerton Park (aka "Sign Park") here in Franklin to photograph the evidence.

To my delight, I noticed that they have removed the "Absolutely No Ball Throwing" sign, and a few other similar (non-fun) signs.

But I was still amazed by the sheer number of signs you're faced with the moment you step foot in this lovely city park.

How many signs can you spot in this one photo?

I'm thinking of modifying my MySpace profile to specifically state:

NOT single. NOT looking for singles. NOT interested in meeting single people. NOT gonna reply to all the personal messages I receive from single guys looking for single girls (...or any other combination of singleness, for that matter).

I mean, I don't want to seem rude or anything, but I'm just not interested. That's not why I signed up for a MySpace account.

However, I'd say the majority of people who do sign up for a free MySpace account are trying to make some sort of connections... "love" or otherwise.

How do I know? About 99% of the people who've contacted me through my MySpace account (and my Skype account, and even my Flickr account to a lesser degree) have simply been looking to hook up. And they're not shy about saying so. (The good part is, it's easy to just "block" them from ever contacting you again.)

You see, there is a lot of "good" that can come from the people you meet through a MySpace account... but there's a lot of bad that can come of it too. Here's what you need to know...
