Join Me In Deleting Your MySpace Account

Simon Owens wants us to all delete our MySpace accounts on January 30th.

As you know I recently talked about how I left MySpace and have kept my account open… that day is finally coming to a close and on January 30th I’m joining thousands of others and finally deleting my MySpace account.

One of the things that really made me want to do it even more is that MySpace responded to Simon’s post.

A MySpace spokeswoman said that it won’t hurt MySpace if people all delete on the same day. That they know they are the biggest and best social network and think its just a publicity stunt.

Really?!? Will see what happens.

So if you are on MySpace join me in deleting your account on January 30th. 

So, if you’re reading this and you’ve experienced any of the things on the list below, your account may be in need of deletion:

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 fucking profile picture.

    Interesting post! I deleted mine February 1st or 2nd. In the past I had deleted my account before, but this time, as with smoking, it has stuck! Now that I have Smaller Indiana, I don’t miss it at all!
