If you're a pint-sized MySpace hottie (nice work if you can get it?), it is to be expected that somebody will create a fake profile of you at some point, using your name and photo. Nobody is quite sure why; this is simply a custom of the Internet. So Brad Troemel made a video montage of cam girls reciting their MySpace ID numbers to testify their real-ness. (That's something they have to do anyway to prove their identity to the MySpace community managers.) The combined effect of the video is eerie and probably arousing.

"WHEN SOMEONE IS SO POPULAR ON MYSPACE THEY HAVE FAKE PROFILE MADE ABOUT THEM, THE REAL PERSON MAKES A "PROOF" BY TAPING THEIR NAME AND MYSPACE ID NUMBER AND SENDING IT TO MYSPACE AUTHORITIES."
