Websites that are meant to be funny or otherwise amusing, but fail terribly, yet still are loved by nearly everyone.

I hated Myspace from day one. What is it, but a collection of avatars spamming each other's walls with ugly graphics in a desperate bid for moar attenshun plox?

I especially have a hate for suicidegirls.

You aren't a suicide girl if you haven't killed yourself.

Myspace, Twitter.

Facebook's fine. Possibly because everyone I know has facebook, not myspace and the idea of twitter needs to be shot.

Yeah, Facebook is up there on my list. Myspace a close second, even though I used to have a profile once. Most people there seem hell bent on damaging their friends retinas with the customisable text/backgrounds/glittery sparkles.

What's there to hate about twitter? You control everything you see, or post. Twitter's the coolest thing to happen to the web since last.fm.

Agreed - apart from the Boll fight.

I don't hate any of them, but I rarely find them funny. I do like DM of the Rings and its Star Wars sequel, despite not being a tabletop RPer (I've tried a few times, but I'm extremely bad at it

Yeah.... I don't love suicidegirls, but I am in serious lust. :oops:

I'll add my vote of hate to mybook, spaceface, and all that other social networking site crap!

I also hate walmart.com, google and any other site that helps promote evil, Chinese hegemony, censorship, and slave labor.

I also hate its purpose, which is whoring of bodies for financial gain.
