MySpace: Where Friends Meet To Give You Fucking Spam.

Good morning everybody! It is a COLD ASS FRIDAY here in the CSP and I must say….it aint so bad. Because the Aqua Teens are gonna make the fellas say ‘ho’ and the ladies wanna scream! Got my tickets and it is time to throw down! Man, this movie better be good with as many times as they have pushed this bad boy back.

So I have a bone to pick with MySpace. Now I really only have MySpace up to supplement my Blogger site (which gets a lot more traffic), piss off Rick with American Idol updates because I know how much he LOVES that show and of course fill out surveys because I am ‘teh lame’. With all that being said, I am having a real big problem with MySpace right now.

When Yahoo became the largest provider of email accounts (I think it was 2003) what was the first thing they did? They beefed up their servers and security. They knew they were going to get a lot more subscribers and there is nothing people hate more than spam. Google is constantly updating their hardware and software for better ways to block out emails for erectile dysfunction and reconsolidated home loans. If I want to reconsolidate my home loan, I will fucking find YOU. Same with AOL, and as a service provider to boot although most of the spam comes from THEM, the probably have the most efficient spam blocker out there. So with that being said, I have a number for you:

108. One hundred and eight.

That is how many friend requests I have gotten this week. At first I was like ‘Holy shit, I’m popular!’ Then I realized that no one wants to be my friend and I looked and said “Hey, I don’t know ‘Get A Free iPod!’ or ‘Check Out My Hot Web Cam!’ at all!” Let’s face it, ‘xxxCutiepie69’ and ‘gimmeanipod1’ are not real people. They are fucking bots. If you don’t know what a ‘bot’ is, it is a fake account that is used for the purpose of annoying the shit out of you. They are why Ticketmaster and forums have that ‘insert the code’ screen so someone actually has to create the account rather than just running a script that can just create hundreds of fake accounts. It is obvious that MySpace either hasn’t figured that out or that Tom is no better at being the administrator as The Dougler was at being the RA on ‘Undergrads’.

I can forgive the fact that every five minutes an ‘unexpected error’ is reported to some fucktard that fixes it only to have another ‘unexpected error’ pop up. I cannot accept total and complete ineptitude. The fix has been done by other online communities (with fewer members and less safeguards i.e. Friendster) and I see no reason why you guys cant put two and two together. I know that it’s easy to say ‘well don’t use MySpace’ but lets face it. That is shitty customer service. Yes, we are your customers because creating your community gets you sponsorships from movies, TV shows and sponsors. If you DON’T fix if, people will go to another online community. See what happened to AOL? They refused to embrace broadband and fell behind the curve. You aren’t Microsoft; you don’t have a lockdown on this market. It is a simple fix that would actually create a better service and alleviate a lot of tech support problems I am sure you are getting due to these fucksticks locking up your servers with their crap. As Teq would say ‘FIX IT!’ It would make things a lot easier on yourselves and your users. Just a thought.
That had been bugging me for a while. I know the Blogger peeps don’t know what I am talking about (odds are you use MySpace, though) but I have to be all encompassing. The Passion of Chachi is for the people. All the people no matter what race, gender, religion or online community they use. Except Facebook.

Before I go, it is time for my blatant Bleach plug! Here is the NEW BADASS OPENING THEME, Alones by Aqua Timez:

In my total nerddom, I was having a discussion with the comic book store guys (yes, I am friends with the comic book store guys. Shut up, they’re cool!) about Bleach on Wednesday and pretty much killed my lunch hour talking about the current Bleach manga and the Hueco Mundo Arc. I also got a sweet ass wall scroll with Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Orihime, Ishida and THE KON. And I got the angry Kon plushie! It won’t bring the girls to the yard, but it is cool to me and that’s what matters.

Anyway, after discussing the new arc at the comic book store and hearing the lyrics of the song, it fits so well. More so than the other openings (aside from D-Technolife and the first half of the Soul Society Arc) considering what happens and the emotions that come to the forefront (I won’t ruin, but lets just say that Orihime becomes a lot stronger in herself and her feelings) this is the best song to choose. The lyrics fit:

Even if you won’t talk about yesterday,
I’ll still be there to meet you tomorrow.

This one will make sense as the arc goes on. It is going to be good stuff. Well, I will try to be back tomorrow for a review of ATHFCMFFT. Stay warm and stay up, peeps. One last thing from Aqua Timez…

You don’t have to force your smiles for anyone,
It’s okay to smile…for yourself.


Chachi Out.

So...K-Fed Isn't Anna Nicole's Babydaddy? I'm Out of $5...

What’s up ya’ll! It’s a COLD ASS FRIDAY in the CSP but that’s okay! Because Aqua Teen is gonna rock my face tonight and it is time for the….

Chachi Top 20 Video Countdown!!

It is kind of chilly so I am going to get straight to the party!

20. Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder (New Entry)

We begin this week with an interesting debut. Now it is no secret that I have a love/hate relationship with Maroon 5. I loved ‘Sunday Morning’ and ‘Harder To Breathe’ but hated….everything else. This video reminds me of a cleaned up Duran Duran video, and we all know Duran Duran RULES YOUR FACE. This is their first video on here, lets see how they do!
19. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #15)
Evanesence officially has a new video out for Sweet Sacrifice and it actually kicks more ass that Lithium! Meanwhile, this video looks to be on its way out after peaking a few weeks back at number two. Here is to seeing Sweet Sacrifice soon!
18. nobodyknows+ - Hero’s Come Back! (New Entry)

No you knew as soon as this song had a video it was going to be on this Countdown. The opening for Naruto: Shippuuden makes its debut after a long wait! This song is now the ring tone for Nolan and was the theme on my MySpace for a minute. I just got the nobodyknows+ discography and it is good stuff. Not only that, the video is actually kind of cool to boot. Everybody stand up!
17. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #14, #1 for three weeks)
Aw, man I’m crying! This video looks to be on its way out after a lengthy stay at number one last month. Even though she has a new video I still really dig this one. The song is quite nice too.
16. Namie Amuro – Funky Town (Last Week #18)
Speaking of Namie, here she is again! This video in song is nowhere near as awesome as Baby Don’t Cry but it is good on its own level. Like Namie in a skirt with boots on. Hells yeah. Although I am not digging the small hat thing going on. Reminds me of Men on Film on ‘In Living Color’. Hated it!
15. Rascal Flats – Stand (Last Week #19)
So The Gang makes a pretty big leap this week, up four spots to #15. I really cant say I like country (because for the most part I don’t) but unlike other people I cant hate a whole genre because the majority of it I don’t like. I like the Flatts as well as The Wreckers. Let’s just hope we don’t hear this song in commercials for Huggies or Bayer. That would piss me off.
14. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #9, Plunge of the Week)

I am sad. Hinoi Team falls out of the Top Ten this week! I still like this video, but it is about time for something new from my favorite Para Para-ing teens. Is that even a word? Eh, it is now.
13. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (Last Week #16)
Kumi Koda has got up and moved up this week. She has no less than four videos out (thanks to Roxanne for posting the majority of them!) but this is my favorite of the bunch. What can I say, I am a sucker for a dancing Kumi Koda.
12. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #12)
Okay, I think the video with Monkey Majik featuring Seamo has grown on me a little too much because now I like it a little more than this one. The guys and M-Flo stand pat at #12 for the second week and may have stalled out on the play list. Still is my jam on the road, though!
11. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #13)
One step away from the Top Ten and K-OS makes his home here! Pretty good for a first time out, I must say. I finally got a good copy of this video, too. It is good stuff. Also, got his older stuff that I had from back in the day. The guy is one of the better hip-hop artists out right now. Well, anything is better than Akon so he doesn’t have to do much. Well, onto the Top 10!
10. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #8)
Okay, this is the ‘Seamo Is Growing On Me Part II’ factor. Anyone that knows me knows that Seamo has been on my shitlist since he yelled out ‘CRUNK!’ in the Bennie K song ‘A Love Story’. Well, it has come full circle. Seamo is in the new HMK video for ‘Fantastic 3’ and I must say…it is fantastic. Seamo and Co. rock the box and the video may be on here soon. Because of that, this video falls two spots.
9. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #11)

Mmm…Yuna Ito. She makes life okay to live, I tell you what. Still getting episodes of Unfair so I can do a review on whether it is worth the watch. This video is I can say that much for sure.
8. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #5)
Well, The Game falls three spots this week and will odds are not be able to take the #1 spot on his third attempt. It’s a shame because this video is actually alright but I would prefer something new now. Especially since he seems to think that beefing with Fiddy is okay now. Here is a famous line: Fuck Fiddy. Who said it? The Chachi.
7. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #10)

TDG moves up three more places this week! This song is a tad bit too sad sometimes but the video is very bad ass. Also its nice to see some rock in the rotation to break things up a bit.
6. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #7)
Yes, Avril Lavinge is a stones throw away from the Top Five. I LIKE this song and this video is hot. I always thought she had a hot Sarah Michelle Gellar thing going on (I really get freaked out by her nose…just creepy) and as she has gotten older it has gotten better. Oh, and she does ‘The Clock’ too. I so made that up in 2001 at Graham Central Station! Ask Griff! Eh, we have made it into the Top 5…
5. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #6)
Well look who’s back? UVERworld makes their FOURTH Top Five appearance as they attempt to get their fourth Number One video! Another video that is brilliant in its simplicity, UVERworld never really does the ‘epic video’ thing. Just them rocking out. I must say, it works.
4. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #2)
Uh oh. Looks like Yuki and Cico need a new video FAST. After making it to the runner up spot, Bennie K is beginning a slow fall two spots and out of the Top Three. I swear if anyone needs a new album aside from Common and the Spin Doctors, it is Bennie K. Gimme my fix! Now, for the three biggest videos in the land!
3. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #4)

Hells yes. So time for the mandatory Bleach update. IT IS KICKING ASS! Ichigo just got his ass WHOOPED ON by Grimmjaw! Hitsugaya once again proved he is a bad ass 8th grader! Aqua Timez proves once again that they sound like Orange Range with one lead singer! Oh, and Kon should start his own band. I call roadie! Oh, and Yui moves into the Top Three once again. Oh man. Once again it is a showdown between John Legend and Chris Daughtry. Who wins?
2. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #3, two weeks at #1)

Daughtry pulls an UVERworld and moves back to the runner-up position after dropping the crown! He is looking to grab #1 again, I bet! Oh, in an American Idol update (since Rick don’t like the bulletins on MySpace, which I better respect if I ever want my pants back) it looks like America sent Haley home. Yes, she was all vamped up but she sang better than Blake (who I WANT TO DIE) and Phil (who just picked a song that wasn’t right for him. ‘Escape’ by Enrique Iglasias would have been bad ass) and even Sanjaya who avoided me mailing the mountain lion I reserved for Omarion and Bi. Well, we all know democracy doesn’t work so I’m cool with it. Here is to Blake finally getting the FUCKING BOOT. Well, off to Number One…
1. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #1, three weeks at #1)

…and the Champ is still here! Fuck John Cena. John Legend spends his third straight week at the top! I will admit, at first I didn’t like this video (seemed kind of boring) but after some watches it really fits the song, more so than the last two (Save Room & Heaven). Have to say, it is my favorite right now.

Well, once again that is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if John Legend can become the longest regining #1 of 2007 and hold on for a full month! Or will Daughtry take the throne for a second time? Can Yui put a second straight video at Number One? Check back in one week to find out! Stay up, peeps!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters is out tonight! Barring a shutdown of the theater I will so be there! It will kick more ass than Bryan Adams at The Meadowlands in 85! Unless shit hits the fan, I will have a review on Friday...the 13th? Oh shit, I totally missed that fact. Anyway...

Chachi Out.
