Jeffrey Rowland's OVERCOMPENSATING
topatoco

09 October 2006

Stalking. Simplified.




Now you don't have to hunt down the MSN or AIM names of those 14-year-old girls in your area (or 16-year-old Congressional pages for that matter) ... all you need is their Myspace!

I know it's a losing battle I'm fighting here against the vapid behemoth that is Myspace, and I realize the people who are reading this already know that Myspace is the internet version of a Wal-Mart parking lot at 11:45 on a Friday night but... I can't give up. I will not go quietly into the night. I will not vanish without a fight. Poopmonster said it pretty good the other day.

My God.


But you know, you're looking at it all wrong. While Myspace = overall bad, what will replace it when it dies? Something worse is what. Be greatful that this is all, because it could be more (evil that is).

And of course the whole "the users make it bad," and "not everyone is horrible."

Everyone said to me "get a livejournal!"
By the time i got a livejournal, everyone was blogging.
Now i have a blog, and everyone's on MySpace, and i simply refuse to go, because by the time i do they'll all be on PickMyNose.com and there are some things i just won't do socially.
No, i'm ending it here.
Fight the good fight, Jeffrey. There's someone on the west coast fighting it with you.

Things are going in directions that I don't like to think about. Myspace is off in their little corner of the internet perpetuatin' some evil, and I believe it was yesterday that Google announced they were buying YouTube for something like $1.65 bn. Seems like you can't do anything on-line these days without corporate interests getting in your way.

When will the g0d of the Internet call together a band of rebel freedom fighters to defend the people from the Death St..., oops, I mean big eBusiness (and people's own basic sillyness)?

The scariest thing about MySpace is the html behind it... that and the industry that is custom profile layouts.

Eventually it will come to light that MySpace is really run by the GodOfUgly and he actually won years ago.

It's not just the bad grammar that makes myspace evil...it's the music that starts upon page loading *shudder*

Hey Sam:

"Eventually it will come to light that MySpace is really run by the GodOfUgly and he actually won years ago."

I think that should be God O'Fugly.

But yeah.
