delete your myspace accounts !

hey everyone that reads this--

this is an event invitation i sent out on myspace. it'd be cool if you forwarded this to other people and then deleted your accounts as well:


Myspace is owned by FOX now and "will become part of News Corp.'s new Fox Interactive Media unit"

Read about it here:

http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jul2005/tc20050719_5427_tc119.htm

so what i'm saying is delete your myspace accounts because by continuing to be on this website, you're supporting the decision for myspace to be owned by right wing nuts.

if you have no idea what i'm talking about, just watch FOX NEWS sometime and see how biased it is or see the documentary Outfoxed.

you're making them richer by continuing to be on here because myspace is the fastest growing website ever and the advertising dollars are rolling in !

besides, don't you have better things to do?

wouldn't you rather go for a bike ride?

let's make flyers and post them on the streets, not online!

let's actually hang out in real life and do things for each other.

thanks and lots of love,

jeff

(and i guess if you want to talk about this and have no other way to get a hold of me, although i'm trying not to use the computer so much anymore
email me at kamikazestar@hotmail.com or reply here)

hey - yeah, i agree the monopolic (?) absorbtion of the site into the rightwing conglomeration is awful. i'm all for not participating in a system which you consider ethically wrong.

but -- isn't there at least as much sense in retaining your profile at myspace, and using it as an advertisement and essay against myspace and the media monopolies?

a boycott on a venue of information just doesn't seem to work the same as a boycott of a product, something you consume. within a personalized venue for networking, you can disseminate information and at least slightly subvert the medium.


i agree, real alive face-to-face life is the ultimate subversion. :)
