      Ugh, no thanks. That place is the most awful cespool on the Internet. 42TB pages, everybody's got their own shit music playing as if whoever visits wants to hear it, all for the privilege of girls with 6 inches of cake makeup posing for cleavage shots, guys dressed up like Gotti with one eyebrow raised, and the most inane, unintelligible comments imaginable, with a page width of 9,000 pixels because somebody posted a picture of a duck flying into a window with the caption "PWNED!" 14 years ago.

  2. Everytime Someone Goes to MySpace.... by ImaNihilist · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...the internet dies just a little bit. The future if the internet grows bleek. Some people spend so much time whoring themselves out on MySpace, that's all they use the internet for. Still, they need that 6Mbps connection because some profiles try to load 200MB of videos, sounds, CSS, cursors, and animated GIFs all at the same time.

    God save the interweb.

  5. The Children of Myspace by cualexander · · Score: 5, Funny
    There is a video on iFilm that pokes fun of Myspace. Basically its the "Greatest Love" song by Whitney Houston.

    The one that goes, "I believe the children are our future..."

    Then it goes on to show the dumb photos that people post.

    Its funny stuff... http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2713146

    No-one intentionally goes to Real.com.

    Only reason Real.com is up there (with a long time per visit) is :-

    We run a keylogger every so often as a for employees that are doing everything OTHER THAN working. Here's a neat snippet. Keep in mind that this person HAS somehow managed to graduate from high school.

    The question is - Is Microsoft #2 becasue of THIS page or despite it?

    Sure, Real is at number 9, but most of their traffic is to one specific page:

    Your post was great but I see this kind of thing all the time in really badly written emails to customer service. I think Slashdot has spoiled you. Despite all the moaning and groaning the Slashdot audience is fairly well educated and can write tolerably. You haven't had to spend a lot of time with exceptionally stupid and/or very poorly educated people since high school no doubt (if you went to public school), but they're out there and there are lots and lots of them and Myspace caters to them. I'm actually really happy that the great uneducated masses are learning to type, get a thought across at some level or another and do basic internet stuff.
