MySpace: The Dead Sea Scrolls of the Internet

 

Posted on January 29, 2010
Angela Natividad

 

Witness while an office cog goes through the emotional angst of saying good-bye to MySpace once and for all. His melodramatic exploration of its cobwebbed GIF-tastic world is creepy in its déjà-vu quality: those of us that got a clue have all been there.

But probably the best thing about this charming bit of Current.tv satire is how the MySpace logo is given a personality, having grown from young, fresh and hopeful to wasted and tatty. As it attempts to win "Craig" back with promises of "new features" that already exist everywhere else on the internet, our conflicted hero shakily puts a gun up to it.

"You’re gonna kill MySpace...?" his bemused colleague, who came along to watch the trainwreck, asks.

An apter metaphor of what we do to MySpace, each time we resolutely delete a Flash-heavy profile page (relics of a time before we learned the subtle code of socnet engagement), was never before made.

You don’t still have one ... do you? (*Wince*)
