Website update.
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 4:23AM The other day I logged into the uglyhead myspace account and saw an advertisement for a video of cute animals. I clicked on it and I got a pre-video advert. Once my video loaded I discovered that it was a promotional video for a site that basically sells advertisement space before their videos of cute animals. Once the video was over pop-up advertisements followed on a page that already contained 7 ad banners. I checked my inbox and it was littered with advertisements and group emails regarding shows that are occurring half way across the country that I can't attend. I get friend requests from profiles representing corporate companies and products. On the off chance I get a friend request from an interesting band and I go to listen to music on their page, I am interrupted by pop up advertisements. I also get advertisements from myspace convincing me to buy advertisement space...
It is making me sick so I am updating this site basically so i can just log in and update people on Uglyhead and non-Uglyhead related news without being advertised to. I also want people to be able to check out Uglyhead in a less annoying forum.
The old site was complicated and never got updated so I am simplifying everything so I can update often.
Please feel free to make suggestions for the site. Things are a bit bare bones at the moment but this new format is way easier to update and I will be often.
This site is designed to be an open forum so please feel free to participate in random discussion or whatever. Just please restrain from posting ads. I will probably remove them.
I hope everyone has a good halloween!!!

fuck myspace. now that myspace messaging is a real e-mail you can get spam from people that dont even have a myspace profile, i get hundreds of spam e-mails every day and spend literally 1 hour a day deleting advertisements that people post as comments.
If I am getting legitimate emails I can't even find them in the sea of spam. It is lame.
