myspace rant 1 of ??
trust me, i have lots to say about myspace. i have a giant one in the works that i may eventually unleash. just wanted to touch on one subject that you must have noticed if you have spent any time on myspace. and if you havent been on myspace, youre much cooler than i am.
here's the deal. myspace is a breeding ground for marginal-looking people to boost their egos. two factors come into play here:
1. digital pics are deceiving: you can alter the lighting, angle, etc to make yourself appear way more attractive than you would in person. multiply this by 100 if it is a webcam b/c the pixelation is terrible. it's like seeing someone in a dark bar after 5 shots of jager
2. there are a lot of pathetic, uneducated losers on there: look for overtanned, shirtless guys, and overtanned girls with too much makeup, weird highlights, and/or "catchy" song lyrics for picture captions. this is like bringing together every retail, tanning store, and restaurant kid in the area, and watching the STDs go around faster than the mtv reality kids. be ready for picture comments such as "your so hot, babe" and "love ur eyes"
so, change your display picture daily, send out bulletins about how youre not a slut, even though you have pictures and blog posts on your page to contradict this, and make sure you have the latest emo song on your page so that your 10000 "friends" can check up on you. we're all very impressed.
