Friendster taps new CEO, old CEO goes back to waiting tables at Friday's

Who knew Friendster had an old CEO, let alone a new one? What's he the CEO of, hobbies and interests?
As my girlfriend would say, "I don't get Friendster."
I've said it before, If I was CEO of Friendster, instead of CEO of Garden Apartment and Jon Greenberg Enterprises, I would change the social networking garbage to "Friendster: Stalk in Private." There's little use to Friendster except to look at hot girls/guys and wonder to yourself, "Could I date him/her?" Now that I have a girlfriend (who is lovely, by the way), Friendster holds little to no interest for me, except when a friend is going out with a girl and you can check up on her assets and know whether she likes to read Jemima J, Good in Bed or Bergdorf Blondes. (Because as we all know, girls can't understand any literature that doesn't involve: shopping, gossipy girls in the big city or fat girls looking for love.)
One friend, whom I'll call John Shear, once invited a girl to visit him from Friendster. Needless to say she was hideous in person with a personality to match. With a figure Jdate would describe as "nearly zaftig," she cracked, "The Midwest is full of fat people." Actually I think she said that, as she was licking the olive oil/cheese concoction off her plate at Tucci Benucch at the time, engaged in a massive eating contest with Rob Bressler.
Embarassed, and deservedly so, John refused to take her out that night with his friends, and she slept on the couch at 11 p.m.
Full disclosure: There was no point to this post, I just laughed when I saw the Friendster story on the wire.

if i am going to get zinged like this on such a public space in front of the 14 people who read this, then in my defense, you must tell of my retribution and phoenix-like rise the following evening when i procured myself a smoking hot italian stallion from the late butterfield8. said woman had the greatest quote regarding girl's and sports when stating that while jon and i would be watching "the stupid men of kansas city run up and down a grass field against some idiots from indianapolis", i could have remained in her cozy apt in 1 west superior hooking up with her.
As a literature major, I must say I take great offense to this comment:
(Because as we all know, girls can't understand any literature that doesn't involve: shopping, gossipy girls in the big city or fat girls looking for love.)
I detest books on these subjects, little Jonny Greenburg.
As a journalism major, apropos of nothing, I was making a joke. Educated women should, with the exception of light beach reading, hate these kinds of books, or at least ignore them. I think it's despicable how women are marketed to these days, with chick lit and US magazine, etc.
Sincerely,
Little Jonny Greenberg
