Pointless rant about Myspace (This joke has gone too far)

Everywhere I go it seems like people are moaning and waving their arms around about Myspace. How it’s changed music forever, how it’ll make CD obsolete (just like movie theatres became when the VCR was invented), how pedofiles can use it to rape children (They used to have to buy candy, now they have it much easier), how weepy goth poety is lame, how unsettling it is that all you need is 20 seconds, a first name, and one other vague detail to learn more about a person than you would small talking at a bar for a half hour....

Here’s the real consequence of Myspace. It’s a record label now, so CDs aren’t going away. Not if my friend Tom can help it. For those who aren’t in the know, it is my pleasure to unveil the first artist to be signed to Myspace records.…Because the people demanded it. Because this band got that many friend requests, that many comments, that many hits...As Spider Jerusalem put it, "Because you wouldn't have it any other way.".....The most popular band on the internet is…Hollywood Undead.

So yeah…

Democracy doesn’t work. This is the lesson Myspace has taught us. One man one vote was a cute idea, but clearly, when put into practice, it fails miserably.
