We don’t know what is more embarassing: the way in which Variety uses the words “logged on” in its writeup or the fact that someone is actually trying to make a movie based on Friendster.

Director Harold Ramis and Topher Grace have logged on to a Universal romantic comedy based on the popular online service Friendster. Grace sparked to the chance to play a character looking for love while navigating technology such as instant messaging, camera phones and Internet porn. Producers made a deal last year with Friendster CEO Jonathan Abrams to use the friendship and networking site as the catalyst for a romantic comedy.

I can see the development exec meeting now: “Maybe if we just throw in as many new technologies into a script we can make a movie out of it! And hey, I like internet porn so let’s throw that in too!”

Careful what you wish for.
