Download or read book the disgrace of myspace written by Richard David Kennedy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-06-26 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A slightly different look at the world's largest social networking and fifth largest English-speaking portal, filled with literally hundreds of facetious annotations that will leave you snickering, if not rollicking.

This is where you will find a rather large "sample" of those Spacers, who are so eager to find "Mr. Right," fame and fortune, or just their fifteen minutes in the world's limelight, exposing themselves, quite unlike you may have expected. Don't credit the author(s); credit the members themselves for making it all possible...Newcomers, as well as those who've been around MySpace for awhile, will find this snippet of societal arrogance and self-centeredness simply irresistible.
