Genocide ad puts damper on Myspace session

28 year-old Mike Healey’s Myspace experience was undermined on Wednesday by a colorful, flash-animated reminder of the Darfur genocide. The ad, urging action to save 2.5 million Sudanese, took the wind out of Healey’s girl-browsing sails.

“I felt guilty,” says Mike. “Here I was cruising for a piece of ass, and I’m one click away from battling pure evil.”

Paralyzed by the surreal gestalt of the 21^st century, Mike sat staring at his laptop for ten minutes, then logged on to Friendster.
