No Longer MY Space
As I promised last week, my myspace page is no more. As you can see in the image to the right I left them some very insightful feedback on how they can improve their website.
Actually, Rupert Murdoch is an avid reader of cheesegod.com. I hear he reloads the page every 5 seconds hoping for something new and delicious. I hear he has a tattoo of Mr. Fish on his right ankle. So, obviously he has already read the negative things I had to say about myspace and is rushing to improve it as you read this.
Hmmmm... I wonder if Facebook is any good.Labels: facebook, myspace, rupert murdoch
Two Girls, One Cup, Zero Class
I was checking out Google Hot Trends, a list of top rising search results, and was disturbed by what I found. No, I'm not referring to the fact that David Hyde Pierce for some reason made the top of the list on November 4th. I'm talking about number 64 on the day previous.
Now, I should warn you before you go click on that link and then ultimately follow it through to the video, that to only do so if you are one hell of a sick bastard.
Luckily, I read a description first, and was able to avoid the life scaring event that would occur if I had watched this piece of crap*.
In a nut shell, the video includes two girls kissing, defecating in a cup, drinking out of that cup, and then kissing again.
Now, despite the fact that this is obviously the worse thing to hit the web since goatse, or David Hyde Pierce, it's not so much the content of the video I'm overly consered with. I suppose anyone who gets turned on by poo needs to get their jollies somehow. No, it's the fact that it made it to number 64 on the Google Hot Trends list. How many damn people out there are into feces?
Can the internet users possibly paint themselves to be any more horrible? This and MySpace man. Proof that the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
*Literally!

Selling Your Soul To Rupert Murdoch
MySpace has been popular for a couple of years or so now. As it has become more and more main stream I have grown to hate it more and more.
Is it the incredibly poorly designed profiles? The badly designed interface? The fact that it's owned by the unpropitious News Corp.? Or is it just my desire that hate everything that is popular and cast myself further and further from the mainstream?
Well, there are three facts. The profiles people create for themselves do look horrible, like some kind of hell for evil graphic designers. If they do desire to strive to make something that looks better for themselves, they're have a pain in the ass time doing so since the ease of customization is comparable to completing Dragon Force on expert in Guitar Hero. And, yes, News Corp, owners of The New York Post and FOX news, are extremely maleficent. As for that whole thing about me hating stuff just because it's mainstream, well, that's just silly... ahem.
But, as MySpace has become embedded in our civilization it has become harder to function not being part of the group. Not being on MySpace is like not owning a cellphone or a car*. Sure, there are alternatives threatening MySpace's empire, such as Facebook, but lets face it, it isn't going anywhere too soon. MySpace is like the MP3, outdated old technology of poor quality. The only reason anyone still uses it is because they are comfortable with and everyone else uses it.
So, I've given up. Perhaps it's not News Corp's fault MySpace is full of morons who don't understand it's of poor design to have songs preload and play, that sixteen embedded youtube videos isn't a good idea, and the only reason they have so many friends on the site is because all those people just wanted to have a lot of friends on their profile and will add anything that moves, or doesn't move, as their friend.
As I told myself this, I logged onto MySpace and created a profile for myself. Now I feel dirty, so dirty. Excuse while I go take a shower.
