Ooo-rah, MySpace!

AP: "Teens looking to hook up with a friend on the popular web community MySpace may bump into an unexpected buddy: the U.S. Marine Corps."

So far, over 12,000 web surfers have signed on as friends of the Corps in response to the latest military recruiting tactic...

The Marine Corps MySpace profile... featur[es] streaming video of barking drill sergeants, fresh recruits enduring boot camp and Marines storming beaches...

So far over 430 people have asked to contact a Marine recruiter through the site in the five months since the page went up, including some 170 who are considered "leads" or prospective Marine recruits.

Think what you may of it, but ya gotta hand it to the Marines- they're smart with their advertising dollars.
