What happens when MySpace declares bankruptcy and ceases to exist? Or, more likely, what happens when MySpace is purchased by a CIA front company that has bad intentions?
I hate stupid people like this. Students tell them that they don’t like to use the school’s e-mail system because it’s too cumbersome, duplicates the e-mail accounts they already have and they get too much spam from the college. Rather than addressing any of these problems they decide the answer is to put something “lively” on MySpace since nearly a quarter of the students use it and start sending mass IMs saying things like, “OMG! ICE CREAM SOCIAL L8R. TTFN.” What a shock that Mixum thinks they need to recognise school spirit.
