Mark your calendars... just not your MySpace ones...

imageJanuary 30th is International Delete your MySpace Day... what does this mean? Well pretty much what it says. On January 30th 2008, it's estimated that over 100,000 people will close their MySpace accounts. Why should you do this? Well see if any of the reasons bellow suit you:

1. You rarely log in to Myspace except to delete spam friend requests from nude webcam girls.

2. You spend five minutes writing a comment only to hit an error message when you try to post it because of all the website glitches.

3. You’re a girl who constantly gets marriage proposals from random men in the middle east.

4. You visit someone’s Myspace profile only to suddenly have music start blasting out of your speakers. Bonus points if it happens to you while you’re at work.

5. You have to make redundant clicks to perform simple tasks because Myspace keeps taking you to advertisement pages where you have to click on “return to myspace profile” in order to continue what you’re doing.

6. You visit someone’s profile only to have your eyes bleed because of terrible page layout with non-matching designs and font colors.

7. Your experience is hindered because of intrusive banner ads that either talk to you or try to reach out and block your view of what you’re trying to look at.

8. You read yet another news account about how some child predator using Myspace has abducted a little girl or that some hoax myspace account has caused a teenager to commit suicide.

9. You’re frustrated with the fact that Myspace doesn’t allow you to post your contact info, meaning to contact someone you can only use Myspace’s glitchy Instant Messenger, message/email system, or wall commenting.

10. You’re tired of seeing Tom stare out at you from millions of friends lists and just wish he would change his fucking profile picture.

His logic is flawless. You have to admit... MySpace is beginning to piss everyone off, even those who love it. I made a post on my blog a little while back that went a little something like this:
MySpace Spam, BAHHHH

"First of all, what is the deal with all these myspace spammers lately. You'd think after Tom sold the company for 100 zillion dollars he'd spend a few bucks of it on trying to figure out how to stop that. Everytime I check my

page there's something like, "I love this fucking ringtone so much I wanna have sex with it all night long. I wanna impregnate this fucking ring tone. I wanna knock up this ring tone and marry it in Vegas, then have the wedding annulled the next day. That's how fucking excited I am about this ringtone.

I must get 10 comments a day telling me that "size matters". Before I realized it was spam I kept looking at the picture of the person who wrote that being like, "wow. Not what I imagined coming from that person's mouth considering it's a girl, but okkkkk. Size is very important to her. But alas, I should not give them any more attention as that is what they seek. If you're one of the people who's clicking on there to get iphones or penis enlargement pills you're REALLY screwing it up for everybody else. I figure if the guy sells 2 bottles of penis pills a day, he can easily afford to lay back at his crib and marvel at how grand his own penis is. "No placebo's for me. I was born like this. I've also been blessed with the very first iphone and I'm currently banging one of the hotter ringtones in Santa Fe."

So, Make a bulletin telling people your closing your MySpace account, give them you Facebook, Pownce, YuWie (which sucks), Bebo, Jaiku, Twiiter...etc (insert other social networking site here) and close your account on January 30th 2008. Your making the right choice. :)
