International Delete Your Myspace Account Day

[via Bloggasm, with a hat tip to Nick Mamatas] 

If you’re reading this and you’ve experienced any of the things on the list below, your account may be in need of deletion:

1. You rarely log in to Myspace except to delete spam friend requests from nude webcam girls.

2. You spend five minutes writing a wall post only to hit an error message when you try to post it because of all the website glitches.

3. You’re a girl who constantly gets marriage proposals from random men in the middle east.

4. You visit someone’s Myspace profile only to suddenly have music start blasting out of your speakers. Bonus points if it happens to you while you’re at work.

5. You have to make redundant clicks to perform simple tasks because Myspace keeps taking you to advertisement pages where you have to click on “return to myspace profile” in order to continue what you’re doing.

6. You visit someone’s profile only to have your eyes bleed because of terrible page layout with non-matching designs and font colors.

7. Your experience is hindered because of intrusive banner ads that either talk to you or try to reach out and block your view of what you’re trying to look at.

8. You read yet another news account about how some child predator using Myspace has abducted a little girl or that some hoax myspace account has caused a teenager to commit suicide.

9. You’re frustrated with the fact that Myspace doesn’t allow you to post your contact info, meaning to contact someone you can only use Myspace’s glitchy Instant Messenger, message/email system, or wall commenting.

10. You’re tired of seeing Tom stare out at you from millions of friends lists and just wish he would change his fucking profile picture.

Numbers 1 and 4 are the two reasons that apply to me, but Facebook is ultimately the real reason I’m finally dumping it.

  1. pretty much all the reasons I got rid of it a couple years back, and then everyone called me crazy.

    and then I come back finally, and everyone tells me I’m crazy again, and to go to facebook.

    maybe YOU’RE all the crazy ones though!

  2. You’re crazy. Switch to Facebook. All your comics people are there plus there’s Scrabble! (At least until Hasbro screws that up, too.)
