    I only hope that the concerts will not be broadcast from the profiles of 400 million users simultaneously.

      Damnit! We better break out the lottery balls and round up the horses.... If nothing else clogs the tubes, that will!

  2. ICP by tyleroar · · Score: 2, Funny

    All the ICP fans I know are huge fans care very deeply about humanitarian relief efforts in Sudan. (Oh shit, is that funny because ICP fans don't care about that, or because there are no ICP fans?)

    It wants its music back. But keep that Insane Clown Posse CD. 1994 said you could just keep that.

    ...MySpace did a series of benefit concerts for children lured by sexual predators over the Internet, given that they seem to facilitate it more than anyone these days?

  6. Not this again by Tablizer · · Score: 2, Funny

    I already gave all my money to some e-mail dude in Africa who promised to pay me back once I filled out some paper-work for him. He never did.

  7. Sudanly - Billy Ocean by marko123 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I used to think Darfur was just a fairy tale
    Until that genocide until that first smile
    But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
    Cause this war is everlasting

    Sudanly "gangaweed" has new meaning to me
    There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
    You wake up Sudanly you're in poverty

    Girl you're everthing a man could rape and more
    One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
    Holding dismembered hands as we walk along the shore
    Never felt like this before now you're dying in Darfur

    Each day I pray this love affair would last forever
    There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of
    You wake and Sudanly you're at war
