[quote name='St Charles Journal'] His name was Josh Evans. He was 16 years old. And he was hot.

"Mom! Mom! Mom! Look at him!" Tina Meier recalls her daughter saying.

Josh had contacted Megan Meier through her MySpace page and wanted to be added as a friend.Yes, he's cute, Tina Meier told her daughter. "Do you know who he is?"

"No, but look at him! He's hot! Please, please, can I add him?"[/quote]
 
wow, that is fucked up. What the hell were those parents thinking to trick the kid like that. Is a shame they can't prosecute them for something as they did play a part in her death.
 
Somebody should shove a big, long, and rusty metal pipe up those parents' assholes and keep on pushing until it comes out of their mouths.
 
This is a disgusting story.

Can anything be done? I don't know - modern American middle school is typically hell and I really don't know if you can police bullying. Is myspace character assassination any worse then the vicious rumors that typically made the rounds?

Either way you slice it, it would be nice if the parents who participated in this were met with some form of karmic justice.
 
"If only she had waited, talked to someone, or just made it to dinner, then through the evening, and then on to the beginning of a new day in what could have been a remarkable life."

Ending in eventual death.
 
This article is one of the most poorly written pieces of trash I have ever seen.

And it's hilarious, mostly because:

a.) Someone who graduated highschool wrote it.
b.) It appears in a newspaper and the writer more than likely thinks of himself as a journalist.
c.) The writer got paid for it.

Aside from writing at an eighth grade level, and not exhibiting a shread of understanding as to journalism's stylistic standards, the article is also quite clearly biased (in favor of Megan's family, if you couldn't guess it).

One thing that isn't properly highlighted, (I think it got lost somewhere between "BEYOND GRIEF INTO FURY" and "THE AFTERMATH IS PAIN," the latter of which would be a fucking awesome metal band name), is that the FBI found NO evidence of the final "kill yourself" message ever existing. At all.

And that's coming from the FBI. Not white trash local investigators, (how intelligent do you think this community is if the newspaper is written at a middle school level?), but the fucking FEDS. If they can't find traces of the message, guess what, it probably never existed.

If you'd like to read a short, humorous deconstruction of the article, I direct you toward this thread at the Poe News forum.

I also encourage you to read a quick bit on the St. Charles area of Missouri, which offers a description and a couple explanations as to why the area is totally fucked up. It's also on the Poe News forum, here is the post.

Yeah, but only if you're willing to play 20-minute art-metal opuses, a la Neurosis.

Not a bad thing, of course.

Very nice breakdown, by the way.

I like the way you think. I took bass lessons in seventh grade, let's make a band.
