Fox steals MySpace page from Indie Blues band

Imagine the horror faced by Louisiana indie band Bones. One day, singer Michael Miller went to his band's MySpace page and found . . . the face of actor David Boreanaz!

There were no more bad bluesy riffs pIaying in the background, no more pictures of white dudes in black ties. All 2100 of Bones' friends were gone! Instead, all he could see was the pasty face of Seely Booth from Fox TV show Bones. Oooooh, spooky! I get the willies just looking at that neckerchief.

Apparently MySpace overlord NewsCorp had waved its bejeweled fists and decreed that Fox shows could simply take over whatever pages they liked on MySpace -- even if those pages had been occupied for two years by someone else. It's good to be the king.

I say that's just not right.
