50Space: Like MySpace, But Way Gangsta

Do you love MySpace, but just don’t think it’s ghetto enough? Do you like cruising for underage babes, but don’t think they got enough tats? Then you are fortunate, because the Half Dolla is looking out for you.

Introducing ThisIs50.com, 50 Cent’s own personal social networking site. Along with a handful of other artists, the 5-Dimer has realized that his over one million good buddies on MySpace will be left cold if he ever decides to leave the world’s largest online recess yard. His solution? Build his own.

According to Billboard Sunday, ThisIs50.com functions similarly to MySpace, allowing users to build up massive, unmanageable armies of somber-faced, testosterone-hard friends, most of whom will never exchange more than a “sup” amongst each other. The difference is 50 Cent has personal access to all users and their e-mail addresses, ensuring that should the rapper come out with brand new editions of his Formula 50 energy drink in the future, you will undoubtedly be the first to know. That, and the site apparently consumes megatons of bandwidth, which almost instantly clogged my ultra-fast connection upon visiting, and now I’m worried that my computer has an STD and needs to go to rehab. It sounds like exactly the thing I would want my sister to join. Check it out for yourself – ladies don’t pay a cover, and guys, empty your pockets and step through the metal detector to your right.
