MySpace CEO resigns

MySpace CEO resigns after less than a year

He resigned when it finally dawned on him that he was CEO of Myspace.

I was just over at Myspace. What a shitty, filthy neighborhood that has become. Street performers, hookers and runaways everywhere.
Marc Maron

Someday, I want to go to a site that proclaims a miracle and see a real miracle, like a pie miraculously floating above my keyboard, or a MySpace page that doesn’t look like technicolor vomit.
