    LOL. My dad told me I was bored by baseball because I didn't understand it.

    I played little league baseball as a kid. I was sure bored, as most of the time was spent standing or sitting around. The only reason "Bad News Bears" was a good movie is they cut about 98% of the baseball game play.

    Car racing is a bit better. But still, you just watch as the cars go around a circle until they crash, run out of fuel, or win.

    But I don't mind if you find baseh ball been berry berry good. Just don't tax me for your stadium!

    The parent company of myspace was a spam/spyware company, so Myspace's past in general is somewhat titillating. They seem like the Bad News Bears of startups really. Well, if the Bad News Bears did a bunch of obnoxious things of dubious legality. It seems like someone could easily make a movie about Myspace without stretching the truth as they did with the Social Network. I suppose Tom Anderson would be an even less likable protagonist than Zuckerberg, but that could make for a more interesting film.
