youtube killed the myspace star

having a nostalgic moment here. i killed my myspace account on friday. it was the compassionate thing to do. logged in and found it crouched in a corner in  puddle of its own urine, mewling, inferring that death would be the merciful thing to do. those weren’t its words, but i could tell from the expression on its face that it was ‘begging me to kill it’. am sure y’ulle have all experienced a similar moment with a family pet / job / boyfriend / etc.

Miss you. I will always remember you.

sometimes, killing is the answer, my friends. in fact, sometimes it’s a smart answer. apparently there are double the amount of people in the world than the earth can safely sustain, so my art director Mark came up with a great idea in a moment of creative gusto. he said,

‘If everyone in the world kills one person at some point in their lives, earth will survive. Global warming etc etc will be solved.’ – Mark Stead, 3 x Loerie Grand Prix winner (easy to see why)

The New Sustainability. For quick results.

you’d be surprised at how many great ideas like that we come up with when working on pro-bono clients (ie. good causes, for the ignorant).

anyway, back to myspace. are any of y’ulle still on myspace? when i logged in to kill my account, i noticed they’d tried to make it look like facebook. as if one facebook isn’t enough already. guess being a ‘trailblazer / pathfinder / pioneer‘ is always hard coz you make all the mistakes and then everyone else just stands on your shoulders.
