MySpace parodies
Due to his notoriety on MySpace, Tom Anderson has become somewhat of a phenomenon in recent years. Being the most widely recognized face on MySpace has made him the subject of parody among its users, who set up fake MySpace accounts oriented around a comical theme or a character stereotype using Tom as the basis, generally featuring a Photoshopped (or sometimes simply decorated using Paint) image from Tom's MySpace profile, with humorous or satirical comments entered in the "About Me" section. The original photo from Tom's profile—featuring a smiling Tom in a white t-shirt hunched over a computer in front of a white dry-erase board backdrop—is a veritable blank canvas for users to edit into just about anything [link].Other Information
Tom has set up the site to add him to every new MySpace member's friends list to help people get started, or in case they need any help.While Tom was once easily accessible to users, he has recently edited his MySpace profile [2] so that users have to navigate through several screens before users can send him an email.
