Deeper into Minus Land

Oooh I was so excited when I logged into MySpace and saw that I had new messages. Turns out it was for two comments that needed my approval... or not. Both from Juan Diego Florez. How odd, I thought that he would comment twice. What in the world could he possibly have said, in a comment on my MySpace page? My skepticism paid off... it was an ad for his CD. Yes, two identical comments of an advertisement:

This obviously confirms to me that some underpaid or more likely unpaid intern is doing his MySpace page. How tacky! And how rude to spam an advertisement to your "Friends" which in this case would be your FANS. Go ahead, look at some of his friends' pages for the ad. I poked about a bit - it's not on everyone's page, but it is on many. Tacky tacky tacky. So even though it's more than likely that the Florezberry himself has no knowledge of this, it still reflects poorly on him, pushing him even deeper into Minus Land as far as I'm concerned. I guess I couldn't really be mad at the man for swallowing a fishbone, so at least now here's something. I sent a reply that I wasn't so sure about posting an ad as a comment... hasn't been read yet. I guess the lackey had to go make more espresso.
