You know, I am a frequent myspace user, but the more and more I think about it….I find it is pretty stupid. The fact is myspace gives you something to do when you are at home and you don’t know whats going on around town, but it gets to the point of being borderline pathetic when people do as much stuff to their myspace pages as they do. I don’t have the time to blog and put videos and layouts and all that good stuff on mine. I’m not exactly against myspace but I do believe that it is taking over. I mean, myspace has how many million users? I haven’t exactly crunched the numbers myself but I know for a fact it is a hell of a lot. These users aren’t quick to realize how much time they waste on this “social networking scene.” As Sci Fi as it may sound I deep down feel that by the time the entire human race is wiped out everyone in the world will have myspace, with the exception of a select few. And by this time computers will have the technology to allow everyone to be survived by their myspace. Almost like myspace could become its own cyber race. Yeah, I know…weird. But all in all, you have to think about things like this. As much as I hear when I’m at the movies and around town, “Hey! I know you from MySpace don’t I?” It scares me to a certain extent. Myspace should probably be outlawed, eventually it will take over.

NIce pic, love it. But I don’t actually hate MySpace, only the way that 12-year old kids use/obsess over it. I think MySpace would be great for things like advertising buisnesses, or helping your singing or acting career or whatever. But a buncha kids decided that they were gonna post pics of themselves along with hilariously long entries about how crappy their life is. Or give out personal information and get raped by some creepy old man with pretending to be an A&F model. Most of my friends are MySpace groupies, and one told me I was a ‘fag’ because I don’t like MySpace. They think it is ‘so cool’ because you can ‘talk to your friends without actually talking to them’. Again, I don’t mind MySpace, but I do hope the trend dies out, so I don’t have to listen to everyone b.s. about it.

[...] No photoshopping, either (apart from cropping the bottom, but I think that’s permissable). The curiously alien structure there is a leisure centre / swimming pool complex called (unsurprisingly) The Pyramids. They have some good gigs there sometimes, too. Thought it looked rather funky with the psychedelic atmospherics right above it – aren’t you glad I shared that with you? Feel free to check out other images from Velcro City in my Flickr set, should you wish. Because I don’t have a very big readership outside of the loyal feed-followers (hi guys, you rule!), I don’t get much of a chance to share the results of my Google analytics results – they’re rarely worth mentioning. Suffice to say that, beyond people doing manual searches for my name or the site’s title, the most clicked-through post from Google I’ve ever made was the one with the anti-MySpace graffiti – over twenty hits from people searching for “myspace haters”, and counting (VCTB is result number 8 for that one).But it was brought to my attention by a few commenters that this post here (where I shared a couple of photos of dismembered daleks) is actually the second highest result, should one (for whatever reason) decide to search Google for “ZOMFG”. Which probably means that I’ll get plenty more sub-literate ramblings on that one over the years to come – lucky me! [...]

I’m not the only one who belives this? ^^ Thank God… I was beginning to think there’d be a nation of Myspace clones. I really hope Myspace dies soon. I really do. -.-;
