ED: A brilliant idea! Surreal, but brilliant!
ED: Us again. Just an update to say that we buggered up the credit for this marvellous piece of work. Our sincere apologies. More » MySpace Versus FaceBook
11:20AM Jess McGuire | Surprisingly not all that long after they heartily embraced the wonder of MySpazz, the mainstream media are in the middle of a love affair with FaceBook. As is the rest of the nation. The social networking site seems to have exploded over the past two months in Australia, and we can personally attest to the large number of people who have abandoned MySpazz for CrackBook/FaceFuck/StalkBook.
But there is one man who refuses to be sucked into the FaceBook hype. He is our favourite new blogger, the very wonderful Dan Luscombe from The Drones. He recently penned an amazing rant against FaceBook that nearly resulted in Defamer Australia deleting its own profile, so passionately and articulately did Dan argue for the pro-MySpazz cause.
He wrote it as a two part “note” on his own FaceBook profile, and has given Defamer Australia full permission to republish it as it is, quite frankly, fucking funny and deserves a wider readership.
VALE MYSPACE? 3:05am Sunday, Jul 15
What is it???
What is the attraction to this convoluted website? Where exactly does the appeal lie in this eyesore of an interface? This overly-intrusive, money-grabbing venture.
Yeah. Money grabbing. At least Myspace never asked me for my credit card details at any point. They want me to pay a fucking dollar to sent somebody a pathetic 3×3 cm GIF of a fucking “sock monkey”. Why don’t they just let me send it for free? Is it so the act of “sock monkey” giving doesn’t get abused and run rampant throughout everybody’s profiles? Well, I simply don’t wish to give everybody a “sock monkey” y’know. I can discipline myself in this practice, without the hurdle of a credit card payment.
