blue now red, what will they think of next?

What's up with that crazy thing called myspace? Those of you who aren't on it, get it. Those of you who are, riddle me this: why all of a sudden are the links in bright red "ink" instead of the standard internet blue link color? I don't get it. I don't understand it. I just signed on the other day to a sea of red - I thought I was Ophelia, drowning in the blood of the dragon Fafner.
