They're making a killing off of making kids stupid eWhores. Look at all of the ads on myspace, and the amount of users, and bands, etc. That's really what puts it above all other community blogs, the fact that it targets bands.

MySpace sucks, Fox's only good programs are The Simpsons, That 70's Show, and Family Guy.

They use a company to do all the advertising for them, one that serves such sites as ebaumsworld and deviantART, to my knowledge. But yes, this whole idea is retarded. A friend of mine go-started notmyspace.com (http://www.notmyspace.com), but that's just as bad it seems ;p

If I ever meet "Tom" face to face in real life, he's going down with a knife in his throat for turning your average everyday teenager into thinking they have a voice on the internet that people care about.

I agree with that but Futurama and the X-Files were good too :)

Yeah, but they don't play those anymore. Instead they play stupid shit like "Stacked", oh wow Pamela Anderson has proved she can't act and should go back to being a whore/model. Let's see, "American Idol".. retarded, enough said. "I'm a loser and I want to start a singing career on national tv cause loser will watch since they're fat and can't get off the couch and cause Fox is so hip and down to earth with them!" Same with "So you want to be a dancer?", gay as well.

X-Files are on SciFi now.  Other than that 1337% correct.

I was there, I'm quite sure I met them.

As far as going outside, yeah, that works at night only, otherwise it's too hot (100+ degrees F) :(

It would be rather difficult to prove that that was them, though. :)

Unless you met them in real life (or I did), either. :)

Here, read this (http://www.x86labs.org/forum/index.php/topic,1954.0.html). I understand it's not directly related, but it still has some relevance.

I really don't know how much money Tom actually got. It would make sense to me that he didn't get too much. See, Fox bought out another fortune-500 company, Intermix Media which actually owned MySpace. Therefore one would wager that Intermix got the money, and Tom didn't. Tom I'm sure got money when Intermix bought MySpace (assuming Tom is the original creator of MySpace, and all that stuff), but as far as I know Tom wasn't a head honcho over at Intermix so he probably didn't get a large cut. He probably got some, and probably did and will get royalty checks though. He's definitely not broke. :P
