MySpace: The emperor has no clothes?

Just tried to log in to MySpace:
That was the entire page. Can’t MySpace at least come up with a more elegant error message?
As often as not I see this kind of thing on MySpace — page elements and ads that don’t load, etc. For arguably the most popular site on the Web, wouldn’t you expect Google-like performance? I wonder how MySpace gets by with amateurish stuff like this. Is that part of its charm?

FWIW they run it on a server platform ColdFusion, which I believe is not really meant to scale to this level.

myspace–surely the founders signed a deal with the devil, is the only way i can account for its success despite its broken ness.
well that and the large # of their audience doesn’t expect much anyway.
