For all of you hipster MySpace users out there, you've probably noticed some spotty service these last few days. MySpace's leader and boy millionaire Tom has blamed a power outage to all the problems.

It's interesting that a power outage would take a site as big as MySpace down for two whole days. Every power outage I've been in has lasted a few minutes, maybe a few hours max. Big sites like MySpace shouldn't even be relying on one data center anyway. It's the fourth most popular english site on the web, for heaven's sake, and a power outage is going to take it out? For two days?

Be serious.

The truth is MySpace got pwn3d. Anyone who uses it knows its buggy as all get out, the code is poorly written and the site breaks every few minutes. You've got to imagine that there are tons of security holes. Someone probably just found one and exploited it, and Tom wasn't ready.

For now, all you can do is play pacman at myspace.com, and the page actually loads faster than myspace ever has. What, Tom, no ads on your "we're down page."

Undergoing maitenance or suffering from a power outage? Which is it Tom?
(Yesterday it was a "database glitch")
