Kudos to Gav!

Myspace does work, and pretty well to be fair.

Be careful of rupert though...

 

Woo-hoo, cheers for the kudos! 
 

OK, I admit that the music aspect of this shite is nice. I haven't added all my lovelies to my friends list being as I except that the bulletins are rubbish (but you say nay hey?) and I suspect them to be false. I even quite like the way music plays when you enter a page, but only good music mind. But then again this goes against all my web design morals -- maybe myspace is affecting me in perverse ways.

Rupert Murdock does own it, don't ya know. You're feeding the beast that is slowly sucking the life out of your punny body.

The awful layout and design of this site hurts my cerebral cortex as well. However, thanks to my mad css skillz, my page, and indeed yours, does look rather lovely.

But the thing is, even with all the pluses it has, the emo aspect of the site eats away at my soul like something large and hairy eating away at my soul. The entire emo section of the internet (it helps if you imagine it being incubated in a poisoned womb and that its father is belezeebub himself) has decended onto this site, it's uploading pictures, it's posting bulletins asking for comments on aforementioned pictures, it overdoes the exclamation mark, and it's not even being ironic.

I can't even, with my pink website, beat the true awfulness of most of the pages on this site. There's something ingrained in my soul that says "no, a background picture that renders the text unreadable is going too far, and i'm just not letting you choose yellow as a text colour, definitely not on that background." Even when I'm trying my best to be vulgar I cannot beat them. It's a sad, sad day. (someone even complement me on my site and I don't think they were taking the piss. true story.)

'What's worse' he whispers, 'I've found out quite a few of my friends are emo attention whores and thrive on the attention this site brings them.' It saddens me, it makes me want to run away, live off the land and herd goats.

All in all, I am in pain. I need to rid myself of these attention whores, like a cancer suffer needs to rid himself of his cancerous tumour.

(I like Rusty Sheriff's Music :)))))))))))

 

I think you make some fantastic points mate.  However, I have disciplined myself to block out and/or avoid the whole emo element.  Dont get me wrong, I stumble across many pages that look like an epileptic 4 year old with ADHD has had a fit on the keyboard, but generally speaking it has been plain sailing for me.

As for the bulletins, they're not all brilliant.  But you see a list of them by title, so if one says "album launch party night" and it is by an American artist, chances are I wont even bother to read it, that is my choice.  Still... good to have the choice.

My advice to you is... be strong!

 

Basically I'm turning into the Adolf Hitler of the internet, and this people will pay in emotional, and perhaps physical if I can only get this telekinesis down, terms for annoying me.

It's like they've sat down in MY livingroom, and they're wearing baseball caps INDOORS, and are listening to the SUGARBABES on MY stereo system. How DARE they infiltrate MY serene and wonderful plane of exsistance.

Also imbedded flash movies slow my punny browser down too much. Can you just link to them? It taints your otherwise impeccable myspace record!

It's a mine-field out there!
