\"kfdhk\"<\/a>What attributes to the current success and immense popularity of \u201cMy Space\u201d? I can never really figure it out. I have a personal page and a networking one, so I won\u2019t pretend I hate My Space, but for a site that runs well only half the time, has trouble loading, is incredibly slow, and is down half the time, I wonder why My Space continues to remain such a humongous website. One of the most ridiculous but warranted feuds on the mega website is the subscribers\u2019 feuds with Tom. Who is Tom? Tom runs the entire site.<\/p>\n

Tom is probably a completely bogus character by My Space, or Tom is a real person, regardless, Tom is hated. Tom, your first friend when you sign up, is one people usually delete, in spite of the fact My Space insists you keep him added to be updated on site changes. But I digress \u201cI Killed Tom@Myspace\u201d is a spoof of not only the My Space craze, but of Tom. The man known only as Tom. My Space, mostly a site for attention whores, sluts, pedophiles and aspiring artists, is finally given a worthy spoof. \u201cI Killed Tom\u201d is a sick and weird semi-thriller about a man who is so addicted to the site (aren\u2019t they all?) that he feels the only way he can eliminate the addiction is to kill Tom.<\/p>\n

It makes enough sense. The remainder of the film is comprised of star and director Shane Ryan letting loose in front of the camera, killing people who looks like Tom and planning on finding him beyond all costs. Of course, the film\u2019s final ironic and hilarious act explores how the website can get under your skin even when you don\u2019t even realize. Of course, one has to wonder how much relevance this film will have in five years. Ever watch \u201cFresh Prince of Bel-Air\u201d today?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as funny as it used to be because the context is horribly out of date, and with the short attention span of America\u2019s youth, this film won\u2019t be as funny five or six years from now. Probably less. In spite of the talent behind it, I can\u2019t imagine it being as funny years from now when My Space isn\u2019t as popular or much of a fad. Must kill\u2026 Shane Ryan–I mean Tom. \u201cI Killed Tom@MySpace\u201d is a demented and twisted short film that\u2019s not only funny, but will really make you feel like a loser for being addicted to My Space. You loser. Yeah you, the one who is on My Space for three hours. What relevance this will have in five years, no one knows, but Shane Ryan chews the scenery in what is one of the funniest shorts I\u2019ve seen in a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
