Myspace is a Sickness
December 12th, 2005 by JJ
I’m addicted to Myspace.
I just got back from a weekend visiting family in Florida. I could’ve spent my short stay talking to family, looking through photos, eating meals together, etc. But instead, I spent most of the time on my brother-in-law’s laptop, searching for old friends through Myspace.
This guy is one of my new friends:
Yep, he’s back, the infamous JackEBrown!
As you all remember, I posted this video back in June and a few months later MadTV e-mailed me trying to get in touch with the dancing heavyweight. Then JackEBrown left a comment on The Churning, thanking all you loyal readers for the positive feedback.
When he left his comment he also gave me his e-mail address, so I forwarded the MadTV e-mail. Suddenly, JackEBrown got his 15 minutes of fame. Check out this latest comment from my new Myspace pal:
thanks again for the love. i appeared on mad tv the weekend of Nov. 12th. It was dumb. They insulted me as i knew they would but they went to far as to call me a ‘guy who looks like a fat pig dancing in his underwear’ it really hurt my feelings. but oh well. lots of people saw it. the web hits have been great. thanks again for the love. i really appreciate it. i hear Bravo has a new show it can appear on. I sent it to them……it all started here!:) Thanks!
You gotta admit, Jack rocks the house. Go be his friend and leave him a nice comment.
Oh yeah, while you’re at it - be my friend too. You know you want to. (You can also link up with J.Mo, Jimmy and Jillian!)

jj,
that’s a little too personal.
i want to keep myspace away from the derelics that check out the churning.
unlesss, of course. they are hot as fuck.
My Eeeeeeeeyyys!
Oh My Eeeeeeeeyys!
My Eyes, My Eyes, My Eyes!
*sob* My………… *sob* eyes………. *sob*
I guess everything is possible… I still wait letter back from Keyra Augustina (a.k.a perfect ass).
P.S. I hate myspace, it sucks!
Man, fuck MadTv. They’re a retarded version of SNL anyways.
Jackiebrown has BALLS. So, fuck them for going for a cheap fat joke, no wonder their show sucks, they have shitty writers.
Dear MadTv:
Fuck you in the anus.
Sincerely,
Ev
So he was on Mad TV? Wow… I wouldn’t have agreed to that in a million years. Kinda’ like the people who agree to be on the Daily Show, the only reason I might agree to be interviewed by them is if I got to make out with… uh, I mean shake Jon Stewart’s hand.
Mad TV is lowest common denominator comedy. Like, even lower than Leno sometimes. They state the obvious, take it over the top and add a wacky accent or face to it, in hopes that it makes people giggle, but they’re never well written or bold enough to make any comedy that the viewer wouldn’t be able to think of for themselves. Honestly, I’m amazed that they’ve even been on the air as long as they have.
The Jack E Brown video is a funny video, but to then make “funny” commentary about it is unnecessary. It’s like telling a joke, then explaining the joke right afterwards. Takes away all the momentum from the humor itself. This is why so many people around the world hate American comedy. There’s too much overkill and too many easy jokes.
Anyway, I think what they did to Jack was bullshit. If you want to play the video and let it get laughs because its funny, then fine. But to make fun of the guy (after you asked him to use the video) doesn’t just take away from the funny, but it’s also a real dick move.
Yeah, explaining the joke afterward is like telling people Maine is a hermaphrodite after they meet. It’s self-evident.
Who would win the who can stay online the longest competition? You or me? I think you.
I’m secretly obsessed with myspace. I can’t believe I gave in. My latest regret, and I don’t have many.
Jimmy:
True, people who read this shit surely have mental problems.
MacBros:
C’mon now - dude’s got moves!
RockyJay:
A letter from Keyra? Now THAT would be fucking fantastic!
Ev:
Well said.
Mojotek:
Yeah, MadTV blows. But I definitely admire Jack for taking a chance. And at least he got a bit of fame out of the deal.
Maine:
Absolutely. The video is entertaining on its own. There was no need for MadTV to attack him with poorly written insult humor.
J.Mo:
I’d win. I’m much more of a dork.
While it is super funny to see JackEBrown shakin’ his groove thang, it takes a lot of balls to put yourself out there like that. I get embarrassed just watching myself dance naked, in the mirror on my dresser, to Vogue, acting like a stripper on ecstacy. Um, yeah, Kudos to JB!!
The Inquirer had an article on how MySpace was a danger to teens because there are “Creepy, perverted… men” on it.
April:
Damn right. And I do that same naked stripper dance thing. Except I do it in front of the living room window.
Lunabomber:
Shit. That article makes Myspace seem all pervy. I feel dirty now.
Dave, how did they know I’m on Myspace? Damned published email address…
My space confuses me. I was lucky to get you added JJ and put J.Mo on. LMAO I’m going to have to wait until my son gets home to explain the rest of it to me. DOH!
Don’t you love how they ask, “Are you REALLY sure you want to add JJ as your friend?”
When your song plays over my cd, it actually sounds pretty cool… let’s take the dueling dj show on the road.
Diane:
It took me a while to get used to it too. It’s not exactly intuitive.
Cinders:
That “Are you sure” question is ridiculous. What kind of indecisive people are using Myspace?
How in the hell did all those pictures on the wall of his hallway all stay on the wall during that rump shake?? I need a drink.
