@stilly: Good point -- but ends up serving the same purpose, no?

I doubt ticketmaster created them. People who weren't facebook users probably just created an account in order to take advantage of the free iTunes promotion a while back, and used obviously fake names do to so.

I trust Facebook only slightly more than I trust Ticketmaster.

Lets just say "I have serious trust issues" and leave it at that.

You might even say I'm anti-trust.

I'm sure some of them are real. I know that I was a 'fan' of Ticketmaster for about a week because they gave me a free album of my choice on iTunes for being their friend. As soon as I got my credits, I totally ditched them and went to hang out with the cool kids.
