If it weren’t for its sentimental value, I would totally get rid of my MySpace profile right now. Yes, there is sentimental value; I still have all of the messages that Stockton Boy and I sent to each over over a year ago. I keep a lot of things like that, okay?

But back to the point, since I’ve kind of abandoned my MySpace, I wanted everything to be bare, well, kind of. My profile is private at the moment and still has some textual information that I’ve inputed and will not take down, but I don’t want my images there anymore. So what does any normal person do? A normal person would delete all of her photos and assume that MySpace will revert the default image back to the nice gray MySpace image, right?

Wrong.

I erased my photos almost a month ago and my default picture is still up there. The image itself is already over two months old considering the fact that I don’t have my long hair anymore. Anyway, so I look in the FAQ section of MySpace and look for anything that’s image-related. Of course, of the few FAQ’s there are, nothing pertains to my question. I’m actually surprised that their FAQ list isn’t longer, but that’s beside the point.

Yes, I could save someone else’s default image and upload my own, except, I shouldn’t have to do so.

So again, a normal person will decide to send an email to MySpace support in hopes of getting a solution. This is my email:

I’ve erased all of my images, yet my default image does not return to the gray default image that MySpace uses for those without images.

How do I remove my current default picture so I can have the “real” default MySpace picture?

I expected a generated response that would say something image-related, but not fully answering my question, but what I received instead was completely and utterly off topic.

Adding color, graphics, and sound to your profile page is easy and requires only a basic knowledge of HTML (the programming language used to create web pages on the Internet). Simply go to “Edit Profile” and enter the desired HTML coding where appropriate. If you do not know HTML, you can reach out and make a new friend by asking someone who has color, graphics, and/or sound on their Profile page how they did it. You can also click on the graphics link from a friends’ profile to select from hundreds of background HTML. People on MySpace are friendly and always willing to help, so just ask! This is a great way to meet new people!

What the hell? One, I’m quite offended that they’re schooling me on HTML lessons when clearly, I do not need them. Two, how the hell is that an image-related response? Okay, I know, support people need to assume that all people are idiots, but I can still find it a little insulting, can’t I? But as for the second, what the hell?! I’m very tempted now to say “Fuck you” to the MySpace support team and fucking upload my own damned picture.

Okay, so I send one LAST letter:

WHAT? I’m asking about the PICTURES, not the design! I already know about the HTML and that’s NOT what I’m looking for!

I want to remove my current default picture so that it reverts to the MySpace default gray picture.

I was really expecting someone to understand and read my message this time, but no. Obviously, they just don’t give a rats ass about me.

The following tips and instructions should help with your image questions.

I’ve given up. I’m saying “Fuck you” to MySpace and will not return unless I get a message from someone important, which is highly unlikely because no one can find me unless they know my real name and if they know that, they might as well search for me on Facebook.

Fuck you MySpace. Kiss my ass.
