Delete Your MySpace Day: January 30th, 2008
Have you heard yet? There are sometimes official days, to stop smoking, help a child, pick up trash, and other touching stuff that makes the world a better place and makes people cry. Well, here’s another one. Simon Owen unilaterally decided to make January 30th, 2008 International Delete Your MySpace Account Day.
What inspired him to such a lofty goal? To start a movement that is sweeping the nation – nay- the WORLD- and promising to leave the world a better place? In his words:
That’s it, I’ve had it. After months of only visiting my myspace profile in order to delete spam friend requests from half-nude women, I’ve reached the end of the line.
Some might have considered suicide, or joining an Amish community and abandoning the internet forever. But not Simon. He is a hero and a living example of how to turn lemons into lemonade. By squeezing really hard and then adding a lot of sugar and water and maybe a touch of cherry, but not too much since there’s already so much tartness present, particularly with older lemons that weren’t sun ripened long enough and that were frozen during transit from Chili because there aren’t any lemons in North America in January. Are you following me?
Here is a list from Cory about some of the ways MySpace has jumped the shark.
1. You rarely log in to Myspace except to delete spam friend requests from nude webcam girls.
2. You spend five minutes writing a wall post only to hit an error message when you try to post it because of all the website glitches.
3. You’re a girl who constantly gets marriage proposals from random men in the middle east.
4. You visit someone’s Myspace profile only to suddenly have music start blasting out of your speakers. Bonus points if it happens to you while you’re at work.
5. You have to make redundant clicks to perform simple tasks because Myspace keeps taking you to advertisement pages where you have to click on “return to myspace profile” in order to continue what you’re doing.
6. You visit someone’s profile only to have your eyes bleed because of terrible page layout with non-matching designs and font colors.
7. Your experience is hindered because of intrusive banner ads that either talk to you or try to reach out and block your view of what you’re trying to look at.
8. You read yet another news account about how some child predator using Myspace has abducted a little girl or that some hoax myspace account has caused a teenager to commit suicide.
9. You’re frustrated with the fact that Myspace doesn’t allow you to post your contact info, meaning to contact someone you can only use Myspace’s glitchy Instant Messenger, message/email system, or wall commenting.
10. You’re tired of seeing Tom stare out at you from millions of friends lists and just wish he would change his [edited adjective beginning with the letter that often follows E] profile picture.
Yes, to join his passionate cause will mean having to start over with a contact list. Yes, it will mean temporarily losing touch with some of your friends who haven’t yet seen the light. But SOMEONE must begin. SOME of us must become the first wave who stand up and say “ENOUGH!” And YOU can be one of the few, the proud, the CHOSEN, to be the very TIP of the ARROW of this grass roots movement. Please, join Simon, January 30th, 2008, and Delete your MySpace account. With your help, maybe one day soon, Tom won’t have so many friends. The dude NEEDS some alone time. And you can help.
Let us know by commenting: Will you be joining the movement?

not joining. several of these didn’t apply to me. plus i rely on myspace to keep in touch with several friends i wouldn’t talk to otherwise.
January 29th, 2008 at 7:45 am
Hell yeah!

Most definitely. An international “day” is by far the best reason ever to delete my myspace page. Not many of the reasons listed here apply to me, since I’m set to friends only – but I have come to the realization that I entered this realm as a means to contact people I’d lost touch with. We are friends on Myspace. We still don’t keep in touch. What’s the friggin’ point!
January 30th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
If I hadn’t already deleted my myspace, I would delete it so hard on Jan. 30th.
January 30th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
AHAHHHAHA ;YOU’RE FUNNY. I’M IN LOVE WITH MYSPACE ,IT’S [edited adjective beginning with the letter that often follows E] THE MOST AMAZING INVENTION EVER. YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR MIND IF YOU DELETE YOUR MYSPACE FOR ‘WOOHOO NATIONAL DELETEING YOUR MYSPACE’ DAY OR $#@! I’LL SEE YOU ON MYSPACE ,AND FOR ALL THIS KIDD KNOWS HE PROBABLY STILL HAS ONE TOO** I DIG IT (:

I was more than happy to delete myspace from my life… retarded execution of a great idea… thanks for f-ing it up America… I don’t care about your stupid little quizzes and chain letters. Make real life connections.
February 4th, 2008 at 5:56 am
I deleted mine. Myspace is a huge waste of time.
March 8th, 2008 at 3:15 am
I still have mine. Like I would ever delete mine. I bet the person who wrote this didn’t even delete their myspace.hehe. I use myspace to keep in touch with old friends since I live like half way across the world from them. Fuck International delete your myspace or whatever it’s called. Some people might do it but lots of people are still going to have it. Also Myspace has gotten to be the number one website of the world. Good Luck with this day! Even though Deleter your myspace is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard of.
