my dog is awesome, he has a 4 second attention span. in fact, he forgot he had to take a shit. the details aren’t important, but just know that by the time he found a suitable spot to defecate on (a mathematical theory which really needs to be worked out by John Nash), he completely forgot why he was in that spot, and looked around confused. maybe he just has alzheimer’s.

but speaking of SAS, or maybe even alzheimers, did you know 30% of america’s internet users have a myspace? as ni@@aknow might say, that’s a lot of underage breezies. true, the question is something of a non-sequiter, but you know that most myspace users [INSERT BASELESS YET COMPLETELY TRUE MYSPACE GENERALIZATION HERE]. seriously, myspace has very few people who read anything longer than 2 sentances, which is why i’m considering putting a whole bunch of crap in my "about me" section and see if anyone EVAR catches on…hell half the literate people i know read anything longer than 2 sentances (i’m not holding out much hope for this post)…but really there’s a lot of stuff at play there in america’s favorite wasteland, or i like to call it, "tha innanets ghetto".

Tom Anderson, better known as "Tom" or Mr Andersssson (wait, now i get it, "Neo" rearranged spells "One", the entire trilogy makes sense now…), got fired from his marketing job at XDrive for working on his porn site, something like that, it involved porn and marketing and firings. Tom’s only the public face of myspace, he’s got another partner who got fired along with him from xdrive (though this time it’s the entire marketing newsletter department) who’s the ceo of the whole myspace shebang. after getting fired they started a newsletter, with their old company’s mailing list, that looked almost exactly like their old company’s newsletter. this newsletter is eventually bought up by intermix…hmmm, myspace founded by two marketing guys who worked for a company best known for spyware, dabbled in porn, and stole ideas? nooooooo, not myspace, no way.

anyway, it’s pretty interesting once you go into it, they’ve already made their money, so it doesn’t really matter anyway. this is all just a quick rehash of tyler walicek’s look into the company, which in turn was smaller rehash of another website’s findings, but now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
