[NewMusic] We have cookies! (was Poopoganda)

[Sarah - 21 Grand]

Well, my dad was paid to train Vietnamese people to use weapons to kill
other Vietnamese people (and probably some Americans) in the Vietnam War (he
didn't have much choice in the matter, Myspace employees have more ...), and
he's a good guy and  a good teacher and played music in college ... Never
mind that the Vietnam War was a crock of shit ... Talented people and plenty
of moonlighting musicians got paid.

I'm not arguing that people who disagree w/Murdoch's politics shouldn't have
myspace pages. It's dancing w/the devil, like Gino said.  However, this
argument below is problematic.

Also, the myspace department in the evil
empire is paying a whole team of talented web designers (and most likely,
moonlighting musicians) that are busy thinking of ways to make us stay
there, from easier-to-use tools to promotions to ways of helping us network.
not saying they're doing it for our good, but as an insider to this type of
environment, i know they ultimately want to stay paid, so they're focused on
making a good product. We do benefit from this.
