MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week
An anonymous reader writes "Hitwise is reporting that MySpace has reached the top, surpassing Yahoo! Mail as the most visited site on the internet for US users. Seeing a 4300% increase in visits in just two short years, this internet sensation has come quite a long ways. From the article: 'To put MySpace's growth in perspective, if we look back to July 2004 myspace.com represented only .1% of all Internet visits. This time last year myspace.com represented 1.9% of all Internet visits. With the week ending July 8, 2006 market share figure of 4.5% of all the US Internet visits.'"
As you will soon discover, this letter does not fixate on a single topic or subject. To be perfectly frank and honest, it started out rather focused but I soon found, as I worked on my primary hypothesis and sought corroboration from other sources, that I have quite a number of different things to say about teh US-ians. With this letter, I hope to make technical preparations for the achievement of freedom and human independence. But first, I would like to make the following introductory remark: Teh US-ians never stops boasting about its generous contributions to charitable causes. As far as I can tell, however, its claimed magnanimousness is utterly chimerical and, furthermore, if teh US-ians bites me, I will bite back. I'm not very conversant with teh US-ians's background. To be quite frank, I don't care to be. I already know enough to state with confidence that the unalterable law of biology has a corollary that is generally overlooked. Specifically, teh US-ians keeps telling us that everyone with a different set of beliefs from its is going to get a one-way ticket to Hell. Are we also supposed to believe that it commands an army of robots that live in the hollow center of the earth and produce earthquakes whenever they feel like shaking things up a bit on the surface? I didn't think so.
Teh US-ians complains a lot. What's ironic, though, is that it hasn't made even a single concrete suggestion for improvement or identified a single problem with the system as it exists today. Without a doubt, however, what I have been writing up to this point is not what I initially intended to write in this letter. Instead, I decided it would be far more productive to tell you that teh US-ians sees itself as a postmodern equivalent of Marx's proletariat, revolutionizing the world by wresting it from its oppressors (viz., those who develop an alternative community, a cohesive and comprehensive underground with a charter to stop its encroachments on our heritage). What do you think of this: Crazy ideologues must be treated with political justice, not with civil justice, as they are undeniably not real citizens? All in all, if we contradict teh US-ians, we are labelled benighted slumlords. If we capitulate, however, we forfeit our freedoms. Teh US-ians wants to toss quaint concepts like decency, fairness, and rational debate out the window. It gets better: It believes that all minorities are poor, stupid ghetto trash. I guess no one's ever told it that I deeply believe that it's within our grasp to develop a rational-empirical base for dialogue about its analects. Be grateful for this first and last tidbit of comforting news. The rest of this letter will center around the way that I am not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that teh US-ians is doing more harm than good to its cause. That's the current situation, and if you have any doubt about the reality of it, then you haven't been paying close enough attention to what's been happening in the world.
Teh US-ians's shallow dream is starting to come true. Liberties are being killed by attrition. Fogyism is being installed by accretion. The only way that we can reverse these savage trends is to follow through on the critical work that has already begun. To be precise, it is always prating about how priggism is the only alternative to plagiarism. (It used to say that it has been robbed of all it does not possess, but the evidence is too contrary, so it's given up on that score.) There is one crucial fact that we must not overlook if we are to perceive our current situation as it is, rather than in the anamorphosis of some "ideology" such as vandalism or pessimism. Specifically, if I have a bias, it is only against slimy, reprehensible numskulls who separate people from their roots and cut their bonds to their natural communities. That's it for this letter. I hope that typing it was not a complete waste of energy. Unfortunately, I do realize that my words will probably trigger no useful response in the flabby synapses of teh US-ians's brain. I just felt obligated to go through the motions because teh US-ians should get with the program.
Smile, don't click...
What does this say about Americans?? As if we didn't already know, they voted for G.W. Bush and now they want to log on to myspace to add his daughters to their friends list so they have some connections when they're out of coke. Must be nice to be born with a silver spoon in your nose.
