Apple Store blocking MySpace

What do malls have? Apple Stores and teenagers. What do Apple Stores have? Macs connected to the Internet. What do mall-prone teenagers like more than anything? MySpace. You get the idea. Apparently some Apple Stores have been so deluged with people using display computer to browse MySpace and not buying anything that they've begun to block MySpace from store computers, according to ifoAppleStore. Now, loiterers at those stores who try to visit MySpace.com are instead redirected to Apple.com. For some reason I find this hilarious.

iMacs and Myspace do not mix. For one, you have a beautiful computer sitting on a display with a hideous, poorly-coded website on it displaying all sorts of Flash Ads (all for dating services, LOLROFLMAOMG.), and obscene things being leeched onto Javascript.

True, the Apple store in San Francisco (yes, San Francisco, it's a largly populated city) blocked MySpace (when I went to buy something for a friend).
