bands get fooled by thirteen yr old, ha!

Los Angeles, CA – A thirteen-year-old girl posing as a record executive on MySpace has lured several bands to Los Angeles with promises of a record contract.

Members of Fonix Cat, a neopunk-country band from Kansas City, were the latest victims. They packed up their gear and headed west hoping for a record contract; instead they left with shattered dreams.

Ashley Morgan, 13, has used her 'sonymusicexec' MySpace profile to lure several bands to her Los Angeles home. Ashley was grounded so she couldn't talk to us on the phone for this report.

Fonix Cat bassist, Davin McLeod said, "Her profile was called 'sonymusicexec', how were we supposed to know it wasn't legit. I guess we should've realized she was a fake when she promised us free studio time and said she loved our music."

On arriving at Ashley's house, band members were lured inside with free pizza and Crystal Light. "How could we resist?" said McLeod. "She locked us in the basement and told us we had to play for her free. It wasn't that bad, so we stuck around for a while. Her mom eventually kicked us out."

I was really tempted to respond to each poster who thought this was real individually, but I'm lazy, so I'll just call them all idiots.

Okay, let me get this straight...

These musicians were stupid enough to believe that a Sony music executive would actually have a Myspace page?

And they were lured inside by - let's get this straight - free pizza and Crystal Light?

I love it.

Okay, let me get this straight...

You were stupid enough to believe an article that has this posted at the bottom: BBspot is a satirical news and comedy source and meant to be funny. If you are easily offended, gullible or don't have a sense of humor we suggest you go elsewhere.

I love it.

While this isn't true, something very similar to this actually did happen with some of the actors from Lord of the Rings.
