p2pnet.net news:- Here’s something new for MySpace: Girl Scout entrepreneurs using it to promote cookies : )

“Welcome to the official MySpace page for Girl Scout Cookies!” – it says, going on:

Girl Scout Cookies are an icon of American culture. They’re also the backbone of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the leading entrepreneurial program for girls. Proceeds from your purchase support Girl Scouts in your community.

To find cookies in your area go to GirlScoutCookies.org

Who I’d like to meet:

Leaders, council staff, parents, and anyone who enjoys delicious Girl Scout Cookies and wants to support Girl Scouts in their community. The purpose of the Girl Scout Cookie Program’s MySpace page is to help Girl Scouts throughout the United States and its territories by raising interest in the cookie program among adult online social networkers who support Girl Scout programs and share the values of the Girl Scouts’ mission – to build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place! Girl Scouts of the USA thoroughly reviews each friend request and comment to make sure the author shares our values, however linking from this page does not constitute or imply the endorsement, recommendation or favor of the Girl Scouts of the USA.

It’s a whole lot better than being shangahai-ed by Hollywood copyright cops.

Slashdot it!

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
