These types of profile flare are common among myspace members of all ages and backgrounds (note the #1 app claim). This has as much to do with Jamal being a thug as a "What Superhero Are You?" quiz has to do with me being Green Lantern. There were absolutely no pics of Jamal posing with guns, cash, etc. I'm suprised, and more than a little disappointed, that anyone presenting themself as a journalist would mention this without completely discrediting it's relevance. Anyone who is using this as an indication of Jamal's character should be ashamed of themselves. They are quite simply exploiting an 18 year old kid for their own notoriety. Completely inexcusable. |
Well said. Now someone please email Spielman and those other grandpas at 97.1 so they can understand.
