Not just the Artic Monkeys but now the Israeli government is trying to get attention on MySpace, Salon.com reports.
" According to its profile, Israel is a single female, 58 years old, a Taurus, who lives in Jerusalem. (When asked if Israel's close ties with the United States meant that she should perhaps be listed as "in a relationship," the young official demurred.)"
Saranga and other Israeli officials are proud of Israel's MySpace page and other nascent efforts to break into new media. They point to some early improvement in relations that have gone beyond American youth. "We were surprised by the kinds of people who wanted to be friends with Israel," one of them told me, mentioning that the blog sometimes receives visitors from Saudi Arabia and Iran. For a while, he said, Israel's bloggers were regularly conversing with someone from the United Arab Emirates, though eventually it became clear that he was only interested in trying to sell them real estate.
Sounds as if they've been having the same problems with comments as Neil Clark.
