Winsome corporate girlies

Nic Brisbourne writes (at the end of this post):

I am hearing worrying rumours that less than half of MySpace profiles belong to true members (as opposed to corporates and spammers) and that MySpace is even encouraging corporates to set up fake profiles (usually of pretty girls) that make lots of friends and recommend their products.

It's a weird, weird world we are living in—is anything or anyone what they seem to be these days? (If they ever were?).
