Fox owned MySpace censores parody song of dumb senator

The dumb senator who has no idea what the internet is and how it works, yet keeps cozy with the telecom industry was parodied about his now famous “series of tubes” remark during a hearing on net neutrality. A user on MySpace created a song singing out the senator’s words over a folksy ditty. According to Wired 2500 people listened to the tune.

But then MySpace, owned by FOX(News) censored the song by deleting the user’s account!!!
When Wired News ran the story, and the blogs picked on it, the account of the poster magically came back online with MySpace claiming they deleted it by mistake.

Yeah, and the internet is a series of tubes. Looks like someone needs to realize the internets aren’t Faux News
