I hadn’t seen the “Super News” animations before starting working here, but they can be pretty good — and this one is excellently geeky.

While the results are staggeringly horrifying, I have to confess some mild admiration for this photo blingifier.

It stands to reason that most people who audition for American Idol have MySpace pages, so here’s some gathered together for you.

Jason Scott does the standard “replace a hotlinked image with goatse” trick, on a mindbendingly massive scale. 25,000 people a *day* are getting goatse’d by him!

“Ashley Morgan, 13, has used her ‘sonymusicexec’ MySpace profile to lure several bands to her Los Angeles home. Ashley was grounded so she couldn’t talk to us on the phone for this report.”

Funny SNL sketch. “I used to look like Ashley Parker Angel”

Another great danah boyd essay. “Hanging out on Friendster is like hanging out in a super clean police state where you can’t chew gum let alone goof around and you’re told exactly how to speak to others. Hanging out on MySpace is more like hanging out in a graffiti park with fellow goofballs while your favorite band is playing.”

Excellent paper by danah boyd explaining just why teenagers are spending hours on myspace — Parents have become to paranoid about the “dangers” in the real world, that the only place kids can be themselves unsupervised is online.
