Nonexistent Band Is Fave MySpace Act!
12/24/2008

Gorillaz tops the list...
By Fred Mills
In further proof that social networking destroys critical facilities and eats away at cranial matter, the Gorillaz have been determined to be the most popular band on MySpace! British media reports are saying that the animated act - which, since it's a ‘toon, is technically nonexistent (Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett are the s-called "leaders" of the group out in meatspace), and in fact has not even been active during 2008 - has accumulated 686,177 MySpace friends, with more being added daily.
Not quite Tila Tequila territory, but pretty impressive, particularly for a two-dimensionan entity. Now THAT is some fuckin' social networkin'... Or pretty adept use of automated friend-adder software..
Back in reality, Madonna's "4 Minutes" was the most popular video on MySpace.
