Oh, Myspace! How we love denying all your porn spam. How we love the hours we spend perusing your bad, drunken poetry and those lovely 3 a.m. photos of beer pong. Wait a second…

The next time we log in to MySpace, let’s just hit delete. January 30 is International Delete Your MySpace Account Day. The idea was started by Bloggasm’s Simon Owens, who realized life is too short to wait for excessive banner ads to load.

Do we really need to know when the kid who sits behind us in Chemistry class celebrates his birthday? Do we really enjoy all those crappy Kelly Clarkson songs blaring from random profiles? And let’s not even get into Top 8 drama. Think of the hours we could save by not stalking people online. Maybe we’d have time to study for that quiz after all.

Then there’s MySpace remorse. We can’t forget that it’s not just hot babes and our best friends who check out our profiles. Remember that bleary-eyed photo from last weekend’s party – the one with all those empty PBR cans? Think about mom seeing it. Or worse, a prospective employer could find it.

It’s well known that job recruiters are using MySpace and Facebook as alternative background checks. Let’s start cleaning up those profiles!

Or Better yet, let’s just say no to MySpace.
