The New York Times wanted to illustrate how hard it would be for MySpace to catch on in other countries, now that the company's going international. So they pulled out an obviously typical MySpace user: a 40-year-old man. He "became frustrated by unwanted messages and he did not care for the flashy pages."

"People here think the design is bad," he said, "and that is important for Germans."

Hey Robert! Us too! We feel same! Is like brothers!

Honestly, how does the Times expect us to buy this bull?
