Why gyork999 hates MySpace

I hate it so much. MySpace is like a fucking Internet time machine back to 1998. All of these godawful, poorly designed websites. Personal pages not offering one insightful or useful thought. Idiot assholes are allowed to broadcast their inane ramblings across the world.

But the design! My God, the design! It's like any old asshole has modhax. And the result is some asshole teenage girl whose website has a fucking picture for a background so you can't read the text and a bunch of shit follows your cursor while snowflakes fall from the top of your screen. And you can't browse multiple MySpaces quickly at the same time, oh no! Because you've got to stop on each one to stop their fucking music and YouTube videos from playing and all meshing together. Then they've got all this page stretching bullshit. Giant, wallpaper sized images of some random asshole's favorite movie stars or some shit. Miles of fucking personality tests and facts. "What kind of kisser are you" "what drug are you?" Rather than define themselves these assholes with will have themselves defined as something else, from an online personality test, of all things. All these asinine little facts and blog entries about what type of sandwich they ate that day. It makes me so mad.

Of course, this shitty dumbass design stems from shitty, asshole people. I think I can say, without exagerration that the MySpace community is comprised of the stupidest people. I don't need "in the world" or "on the Internet." They're just the stupidest people. "Stupidest" might not be a word, but who cares? I could have an extra chromosome and still be more intelligent than the gasbag users of MySpace.

Also, I went on MySpace ONCE in IE and my computer got so much fucking shit on it. And this wasn't just spyware that Ad-Aware or what-have-you could remove, either. I had to fucking reinstall Windows because of this shit. Also, I'm sick of hearing about how pedophiles screw children through this "service."

It's so very annoying, the site. Click on a random MySpace and I guarantee you'll find all this superfluous shit that's cliche of bad website design. God help you if you're on a 56k. Glittery .gifs of cars, annoying video and song, cursor followers, ugly sites, dumbass people, I could go on and on. And how does the universe reward the shining example of poor website design? These assholes have a fucking record label and MySpace is one of the most popular sites on the Internet.

All of this, for what? So you can meet people? For some twisted form of shallow self-expression?

Forget that, that's just rambling. I hope you didn't read it all. I just needed to get it off my chest. The reasons MySpace sucks can be boiled down to this:

1. Remarkably stupid community. 2. Piss poor design from the past.

You Kicked my Dog, you may not be stupid, and you may not use a bunch of stupid HTML on your MySpace. Great, I don't hate you. I just hate that they allow the option of being incredibly stupid and having a bunch of ugly shit all over.
