    Bored

    I don't get why Common Sense Media rated this on for +10, I went on when I was 5. The games are fun the first time but then they become boring. Ok if you like pointless dressup/makeup games.

    Fantastic site, if you're the CEO of Claire's, MUDD, Juicy...

    Awful stuff. The video I watched starred four friends who had promised each other they'd take a break from shopping. They lied to each other, caved, then proudly declared themselves to be "mall maniacs." Forget the moronic video, forget the fact that myscene apparently thinks ghoulishly thin is cute, forget that the girls are complete idiots... my question is how did commonsensemedia give this site an "on" rating? If this kind of rubbish passes muster with CSM, why even bother? Guys, do something else for a living, you're not good at this.
