This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''The MySpace Movie''''', also known as '''''Myspace: the movie''''', is a 2006 short film and [[viral video]]. Its name refers to [[Myspace]], the [[social network]]ing [[website]], which it parodies.

Two years later, a new video by Lehre was released, but instead of Myspace, focused on [[Facebook]].

==Plot and outline==
''The MySpace Movie'' explores the basics of life as well as disputed territories located within the [[Myspace]] site in a humorous and parodic fashion. Themes of this movie include:

*Capturing profile images.
*[[Dating]] on Myspace.
*Excessive chain bulletins.
*MySpace's "Top 8" feature.
*A humorous portrayal of [[Tom Anderson (MySpace)|Tom Anderson]], the "creator" of Myspace.

===The blind date===
This story opens with two males sitting in front of a computer and the first male attempts to show off his prize catch, a woman named Yeta, whose profile they are both examining. His friend believes that the woman has "The Angles", a term referring to the practice of taking photographs from such extreme angles as to obscure or distort the person in question, thus implying that the user is insecure about their image and, presumably, unattractive. He also insists that the woman's name is not ''Yeta'', but [[Yeti]]. Shortly afterwards the first male receives a telephone call from the woman in question, whose audible voice bears a close resemblance to that of [[Chewbacca]] from ''[[Star Wars]]''. They arrange a date for the evening, with the friend insisting upon chaperoning. Once the two meet, the man is horrified to observe that his date is masculine, grunting, and lurching. She immediately rubs up against him, asking "Do you want to see the Angry Beaver?", a now popular quote.

David Lehre (the creator) stars in this chapter.

===The bulletin===
This begins with a man reading a bulletin, and having to scroll down excessively. It then reads that if he doesn't repost, he will first hear a duck call, then be killed by a crazy drunken hunter asking for circus peanuts. This is commonly found in many Myspace bulletins today. Finally, during his last moments of life he will see a singing fish. He casually ignores the bulletin as a joke, and is soon thereafter killed precisely as described. The scene takes place in Reese Serra's apartment.

===The password===
A prominent feature of Myspace is that of the "Top 8" (Although you may have a "top" of as many as 40), which is essentially the ability to display upon a user's profile page a link to 40 of his chosen friends. In this scene a couple at a computer are arguing; the woman is complaining about her partner's choice of Top 8 friends, expressing dissatisfaction at the fact that she is not among them, as well as questioning the integrity of those present. After demanding his password, she is able to log in and see the rest of his pictures, which include photographs of his participation in lewd activities, including that of judging a wet T-shirt competition.  In this scene one can see the email address joejoe227@yahoo.com.

===The party===
This short segment proposes a humorous theory as to the origin of Myspace creator [[Tom Anderson]]'s default profile picture - arriving at a college party, where he is immediately the center of attention. (This directly alludes to the fact that whenever a new profile on Myspace is made, Anderson is automatically added as the user's first friend. For this reason, Anderson's profile has over two hundred million friends, and in the movie it is humorously assumed that every one of those people is a close friend of his). Later on, Anderson consumes copious amounts of [[pizza]], [[alcohol (drug)|alcohol]], and even [[cocaine]]. A short time later, presumably the morning after, the crowd of Myspace users from the previous evening open the bathroom door while Anderson is vomiting, and take his picture as he hunches over the bowl, resembling Anderson's actual profile picture.

==Vendetta Studios==
Vendetta Studios, the credited production company, is not classified as an official Motion Picture Production Company on the [[Internet Movie Database]].

Vendetta Studios' work can be found on [[YouTube]]. There are, however, two other production companies with similar names: "Vendetta Films" and "Vendetta FX". Vendetta states that it is not in any way associated with Myspace.

===David Lehre Productions===
David Lehre Productions, like Vendetta Studios, is not an official production company; instead, it is run by a single man.

==Reactions==
Reaction to the film can be summed up in the fact that it became an Internet phenomenon almost overnight; indeed, more than 10 copies of the movie were produced on the popular filmsharing website [[YouTube]]. Reaction has extended beyond the social networking sites and into the mainstream media including mentions in ''[[The Boston Globe]]'',<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.boston.com/business/blog/filter/2006/03/friday_video_my.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060830014551/http://www.boston.com/business/blog/filter/2006/03/friday_video_my.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2006-08-30|title=Friday video: MySpace: The Movie: Boston Globe March 3, 2006|work=The Boston Globe))</ref> ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'',<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Online-video-sites-blend-the-bizarre-with-the-2501493.php|title=Online video sites blend the bizarre with the mundane to reshape visual entertainment|work=SFGATE|first=Ellen|last=Lee|date=March 23, 2006))</ref> and ''[[The New York Times]]''.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/23/movies/23clar.html|title=Hollywood Clicks on the Work of Web Auteurs|work=The New York Times|first=John|last=Clark|date=July 23, 2006|accessdate=May 25, 2010))</ref> The worldwide attention that the video received earned the video's creator, David Lehre, the opportunity to develop a pilot for Fox Television.((citation needed|date=February 2017))
