  • sunnyd, on 10/12/2007, -4/+48Do these people even preview their pages? A big chunk of them have 2 or 3 songs playing at the same time.

    But MySpace is one of the most important applications of our time; it helps us identify who needs to be wiped from the gene pool should such a situation arise.
    • Cannon13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14That was the point. It's a contest.

      he knows him some ugly... He's a motion graphics/designery type who has been cracking me up for a great number of years with weird video's & flash experiments (before the days of vlogging or whatever)

      some of the funniest ***** on the net.. a true original...
    • Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It reminds me of the mid '90s, when your average webpage was littered with more animated GIFs than you could imagine. Hardly fond memories.
      WasteofSpace: serving the retarded, computer illiterate, emo-kid community.

      "That was the point. It's a contest."
      I totally didn't realize you were serious until i saw the duck thing on every page.

      lol so true.
  • grammarpolice, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I have seen better color combinations and class in a colorblind woman's face makeup.
  • daGUY, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Precisely why I hate MySpace.
  • royall64, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11They forgot the index.
  • Drakeguild, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1pmsl @ grammarpolice !
    • grammarpolice, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2I didn't know what you meant! until I went to the Internet Acronyms Dictionary. Haha!

  • godmode, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15all myspace pages are ugly myspace pages
  • Haroldx, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7i've seen worse.

    at least 6 youtube videos, 2 songs playing at once, oppacity on images + tables at 80%, flashing background, huge high-res pictures, and the annoying falling rain stuff.
  • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I think I was temporarily blinded.
  • aaronlidman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7What's your power move?
  • DomZy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5HTML heartattacks
  • kramit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Why oh why ?!? what did i do to derve this in my RSS on a monday morning.
  • ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Jesus, WTF?
    I think I had a seizure.
  • Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The first page was so ugly, my computer crashed.
    No, seriously, it did.
  • M1k3Y69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jesus hard-chargers take it easy!
  • Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Are you serious? There are MySpace pages that look better than these? From what I've seen, every single MySpace page has some flashing background that keeps you from reading any of the text, or it has some annoying video or music that blasts forth from your speakers when you're least expecting it
  • everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4TAKE THAT POKEMON! WE KNOW HOW TO CAUSE A SEIZURE!
  • lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Hitler, Stalin, Hussein, Myspace. All can be described with a single word starting with E and ending with L.
  • thereisnospoon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5They all look about the same to me...
    Of course I have firefox, stylish, and the MySpace Sanitizer Style installed:
    http://userstyles.org/stylish
    http://userstyles.org/style/show/185

    Since MySpace is the only way I can stay in contact with some of my friends I have to use it - with stylish at least it doesn't make me want to rip my eyes out of my sockets when I go there..

    • bebop717, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Email and IM a bit too complicated for ya?
  • Skunkhair, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ugliest Myspace Pages.... a bit redundant, eh?
  • deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3MySpace's ugliness is directly proportional to it's popularity.
  • warlord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you set your monitor to ultra high resolution guess what.... they still look *****!
  • optikschmoptik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's worth noting that the owner of the ugliest page lists himself as a 'web programmer':

    "Joe's Schools
    Michigan Technological University
    [...]Major: Computer Systems Science[...]
    Joe's Networking Technology - IT - Tech Support
    [...]Joe's Companies
    Michigan Technological University
    Houghton, MI US
    Web Programmer / Technical Support"

    Well done! I know a lot of clients are getting interested in HDWGs (hitler dancing with glowsticks) technology.

    (Complaining about myspace is being considered as an event for the 2008 winter games. See you all in Vancouver!)
  • foodbar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I wish they wouldn't hotlink images from my site for the page background. I'm not evil enough to rewrite them to goatse, but I did rewrite to a tiny blank PNG. Then there was the idiot who tiled a picture of a bridge across his page.
    • lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If I were you, I would replace the background image with a photo of the myspace owner defaced in some way. Or a swastika. Maybe a photo of George Bush? How about all 3 put together? But I can be quite cruel to these people sometimes :P
    • Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My friend once had some of her artwork show up on someone's cute, girly, pink MySpace.
      It was replaced with an animated GIF of a guy jizzing. T'was priceless.
    • dexOtaku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0SetEnvIf / SetEnvIfNoCase, my friend.

  • andrew1193, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Since the vast majority of all Myspace pages are already ugly, these pages must be really, really, REALLY ugly.
  • anesthesia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3MySpace: Geocities for the 21st Century.
  • LacY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think I may have just had a seizure... and I *know* I feel like vomiting now. And I only made it through about the first 6 or 7. Why... WHY WHY? I actually have myspace, as it's the only way I can keep in touch with some losers who can message 85 people on myspace but can't "work" their AOL e-mail account (and I wish I was kidding). But what's wrong with a little simplicity? Single color background. Single color text (and not the same freaking color!--something actually legible!). Nothing that blinks, dazzles, or screams at you. If you want a song/video, put one up that DOESN'T autoplay--I don't want to hear your crappy songs!

    On a side note, did anyone else thing it odd that the GW Bush page had a Dixie Chicks song embedded?

  • riquock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1With those hack issues, I won't even wanna try to click on any of those pages.
  • rory3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This myspace thing is insane... I really really just don't "get it". Are the people that put up these pages retarded? Or am I just so lacking in some department that I can't decipher anything from these pages? How does anyone know what's going on? Who the hell made myspace and WHY? Were there ads someone on those pages?
  • ozreiuosn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Love it!
  • MasteRR, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ugliest MySpace page?

    All of them.
  • dosle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ugly pages are not an accomplishment, a real story would be finding a handfull of GOOD lookign myspace pages. That in itself is impossible however.
  • adambeta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2www.myspace.com/*.*
  • ogletree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm suprised my cousins is not on there.

  • szembek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is there such a thing as a myspace page that is not ugly?
  • anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2While the overwhelming majority of Myspace profiles are indeed some of the ugliest things you are ever likely to see the Intarweb, there ARE some gems hidden within the depths of it.

    http://www.myspace.com/theycallmesike - This isn't mine, but I do think it's a great example of what can be done with a Myspace page if you do it properly. It may not be perfect, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
    • dexOtaku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow .. that actually looks okay, except for the fact that the text [at 1600*1200] is like 1mm tall.

      Why are people using pixel sizes to define text from CSS still? This is just stupid.

      Otherwise it looks pretty good. Until you start reading "MyMind" at least. Then it becomes just like all the rest, but with better layout.
  • andrebrown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2my theory is that kids go to the myspace customizer sites and click on all of the fancy stuff that they like. It's like the part of the brain that regulates taste, hasn't fully develped yet. This is why you see lime green and black pages that are stretched about 3 thousand pixels accross with streaming videos, meanwhile you can't click on anything because of the html hearts that are pouring down, there's micro trendy font that you can't read listing everything about them (as if anyone cares), and then to make matters worse, a MCR song comes on.

    People always ask me why I don't edit my page at all and use the default myspace layout. I answer by telling them to look at their page.
  • Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What's up with all the ducks?
  • manualGirl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I honestly believe the worst thing MySpace ever did was let users have control over page design. Yes, there are a very select few MySpace'ers that can actually design an easy to look at yet creative page. However, these are heavily outweighed by the hideous, loud, annoying pages that most users create, as this article points out. What some of those people do to their pages should be illegal its so god damned ugly.
  • n00bst3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3These are prime examples of why my internet does not reach it's advertised speed.
  • Smartacus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think any html page which needs a "safe mode" is insane.
  • iamdw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2how about including an accurate description that includes the fact this was a contest...
