OT - rupert murdoch owns your myspace

So ya he owns it, does this ruin myspace for you? Most have known this for a long time, but some havn't. Does this bug any of you myspacers who do not appreciate him?
I have a hard time looking at myspace in a positive light for this reason, this man is the king of slanted news for the masses and the Bush administration loves him for it.
Just wondering how you view this, if you've thought about it, or if it's even an issue at all.
There's a lot of cool stuff happening on myspace and I focused on that for a good amount of time, but in the back of my mind, i've always wondered if my one space adds to the over all value of his investment and financial support of his workings.
peace

Seeing as how it's really really really old news I've pretty much accepted the fact...

It's not Rupert that ruins myspace. It's the people who use myspace that ruin myspace.

Its the horrific web design, coding and lack of server reliability that ruins myspace.

Myspace is BFUGLY which is why I won't touch it.

Agreed BUT it's also the people who

mass spam friend requests

post bulletins every damn 10 minutes about jack shit

post "thanks for the add" or "thanks for the request" in your comments just to draw attention to themselves

post fliers for their gigs in your comments

people who falsely think they are actually popular because they did any or all of the above (watch their "stats" drop as soon as they stop doing that)

I would go on but I have to get ready for work

Good luck with that, myspace is perfect to link music and anything to the rest of the world and is the easiest way to get it out there.
Here in America, Rupert continues to keep stupid americans stupid in his dedication to corporate rule. It's fuck'n sad that there is a giant hole in the ozone layer above your country but Fox news believers take their word for it that global warming is a myth. That's just one thing that they cover up. It's all money and not humanity.
Generations to come will be nothing short of pist.

The really cool thing about myspace and the web, is that information covered by the corporate ruling fucks, can still get to the masses. But given Rupert's history, don't be surprised when myspace falls to censorship...hope it won't! Time and awareness will tell...
These statements could easily be viewed as jumping to conclusions, and I am not trying to take a high-holy stance. But the fact is that plenty of people don't want to think about it and are much more comfortable with sweet lies.....Rupert is most happy to provide those.
