MySpace vs. Grammar

Now, I'm not a big MySpace guy, but I do have an account to keep in touch with a couple of people who haven't yet discovered the ancient art of email. In fact, you might say I hate MySpace. Allow me to elaborate with this recent announcement which appeared on everyone's "Home" page:
Tom - Aug 23, 8:25pm PDT
Hey, you didn’t lose any friends. Things might just look kind of screwy while we fix friend counts. you might see some pictures with a big red x and DELETED in your friends list this weekend. don't freak out. we are running a big cleanup job to remove all the red x profiles in your list and everything will be back 2 normal by the end of the weekend. also, no big whoop if you already deleted the red x profiles. those are just people who are no longer on the site

Note the emphasis I added. I simply cannot respect a website run by someone who posts site-wide announcements with improper capitalization and number-word substitutions (I won't even get into sentence fragmentation and the lack of a final period).
