29,000 registered sex offenders have had their profiles removed from MySpace after receiving pressure from various state Attorney Generals.

I'm betting that at least 20,000 of those people are just folks who when they were a year or so above the legal age for consent had sex with someone who was a few months below it. The whole concept of "sex offender" needs to be overhauled.

Even so, that's an awful lot of peados for just one website.

Edit: OK, I guess a 'sex offender' could also be a rapist or whatever. I apologize to all the rapists, didn't mean to forget you.
