Mikey Snot Is Great
Panic In MySpace

July 17, 2006, Buzz Fugazi


Mikey's aluminum foil hat fell off his head and soon the harmful effects of the gamma rays began taking a nasty toll. Once aloof and scoffing at the thought of MySpace, he was ignoring, yet again, the final post-production work on show 10 to join the virtual Logan's World of cyber-posturing, cyber-mating, cyber-hyping, cyber-pontificating... lost in the land of cyber-surveys and cyber-icons... Mikey was both cyber-promoter and cyber-promotee... but without his aluminum foil protection, the MySpace Madness drove him too far.

I explained that profiles going into limbo for maintainence is a common situation in MySpace. Mikey would hear none of it. "They've deleted our profiles. MSIG Army, Buzz Fugazi, Laz... they are all gone."

Sounds like routine MySpace stuff. I doubt we are deleted.

Mikey seemed to be copping a "You're one of THEM, aren't you?" attitude.

It was persuasive. Oh my Garsh! We've been deleted! This is a sneak preview of tomorrow's Brave New World. Undesirables being identified and deleted by soulless cyber-geeks. The disappeared of the key-stroke era. Cue REM's Flowers of Guatemala.

Soon I was sending out a general distress signal. The crunch is here! The purge! We are the damned! I was flooded with sorrow and loss... over MySpace! Gone! How can I live through this! Where else will I find friends I never talk to and never meet?

Eventually Mikey got his hat back on and it was confirmed that our profiles were still intact. A couple of days later my internet provider dumped me for not paying my bill. I had already grieved my loss. I will live through this...

For now I am back at the MSIG Studio, just like in the early days of the show when this was the only place I'd go on-line. I think I'll log off and take a nap. Show 10 should be along shortly. It's not the same entertainment value as taking a MySpace survey, but we did the best we could to be almost half as good as that.
