Heh, everyday now I see people say stupid things that place myspace as an imortant part of the internet.

Teacher brought up the fact that the brain doesn't read the letters of words when reading, but only the first and last and the number of letters, or something. Immediately, a girl shouts "OMG, yeah , YEAH! It was on MYSPACE!!!! OMG myspace is taking over the WORLD!"

Another time, a girl announced to the class that she would be making a study group of some book and that everyone add her on FACEBOOK so they can make a group or w/e it's called. Way to assume everyone uses facebook, bitch.

When a teacher asked if anyone could make a website for her, before I even say anything, some dumb fucking slut says she knows how to make one. He allows her to show everyone on the overhead thing, and it turns out to be a GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING MYSPACE PAGE. I LOLed off my chair...


/end rant

I'm not as angry towards facebook (I haven't even used it yet). I use myspace for messaging someone that's on vacation in asia. But seriously, wtf is wrong with people.

You should also tell your teacher that she only got it half right when talking about the way the brain processes words while reading. It only works when the person can reasonably guess what the word is going to be. There was a counter-example floating around somewhere on the internet that disproves the idea that we only process the first and last letters.

On topic: I think you put too much effort in hating other people's quirks.

The funny thing is that I have never once even been to myspace, nor have I ever known someone who was on it. Maybe its just a high school thing or something, nobody I know at college has a MYspace page, but 100% have FACEBOOK. I don't even really know what myspace is, just a webpage hosting service right like they used to have tons of back in the day, but somehow this one better?

It multiplies itself and becomes evident in everyone that uses it. I noticed this was becoming much more of a problem last couple months of high school

Just because it isn't chaulk full of swear words and doesn't involve insulting and racism, doesn't mean I'm not ranting.

Facebook is WAY better than Myspace.

I still like Xanga better, though... most people there actually tend to write coherent sentences when they post stuff there.

My only complaint is that MySpace is and ugly, buggy piece of shit. All the bells and whistles (did I mention music that autostarts?) need to go away. That's why I started using Facebook. However, they've got a lot of apps now, but at least the layout is clean.

It's funny you mention the music, considering that was the original purpose of MySpace before every teeny bopper in the world invaded.

The music is fine, but having it autoplay is fucking annoying.
