I just helped somebody sign up for a MySpace account today. Somebody told him that MySpace was where all the women were. He didn't have an email account, though, so we had to set that up first.
Sure, the Internet hipsters and teenagers have largely abandoned MySpace, but it'll be many more irritating years before it trickles down through all the layers of the digital divide.
And here's a public service message for the ladies: when you get that MySpace message from Casanova Shakespeare (or maybe it was Romeo Gotti--I forget which name finally turned out to be available), I'm pretty sure that he's lying about the mansion.
Flashblock, NoScript, AdBlock, etc. Required for MySpace.
I really just wish MySpace would be "over" and the next general purpose FOAF-LOAF comes along or some shit. Fuck Facebook. I never thought I'd say this but I miss Friendster.
Wait, no, I don't. Who am I fucking kidding? Sorry. All I use MySpace for is a sort of placeholder/bio on the web for when my main host goes down. Which seems to be permanent now.
