<p><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10265566-36.html">MySpace slashes head count by 30 percent | The Social &#8211; CNET News</a>.</p>
<p>The tagline reads &#8220;MySpace is a place for friends.&#8221; No, it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s a place for scum-sucking, bottom-feeding, spam-spewing trolls to post mindless blinking affiliate marketing links all over creation. If &#8220;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/owen-van-nattas-myspace-layoff-memo-2009-6">this hurts me more than it hurts you</a>&#8221; Van Natta wants to turn that ship around they have to start treating the social network like a community that it sadly once was, heinous crimes against HTML and all, instead of like a wishful money-printing machine that occasionally requires light watering for maintenance.</p>
<p>Seriously, that place is a cesspool.</p>
