The dude from the Facebook movie buys MySpace

MySpace, woah. Dude, it’s like I’m back in 2005 or something, trippy.

Yes, apparently no one has the heart to take a shotgun tp MySpace, the Old Yeller of social media web sites. New Corp., whose social media presence has lasted all of about 18 months, figured out that the kids weren’t into MySpace so much anymore, so they decided to get out before the whole thing went belly up.

They sold it off for a cool $35 million, after buying it for the bargain-basement price of $580 million six years ago. One of the buyers is Justin Timberlake, who was in The Social Network, the Facebook movie. Perhaps he was high when he made this purchase.

Let’s see if the media can come up with any clever headlines for this.

Can you do better? Bonus points if your headline incorporates an *N Sync song title.
