It's Been a while, but some comments on Myspace

I wouldn't call myself the biggest Myspace user, but I do use it quite a bit to keep in touch with certain friends. I have been on Myspace since April 2005, and if there is one thing I have always wished I could have my preference on is the ads that show up on my page. Well, today, it went a little over the top.
