MTV (a bit of a rant)

come'on how can you hate the real world?!
that shit is like crack.

duff was dating joel madden (good charlotte) which is pretty creepy. i guess joel left when she turned 18.

your welcome

On Sunday MTV – that's MTV mind you, not even VH-1 – had a marathon of America's Next Top Model. 12 hours. Unreal.

Though I watched about 10 episodes of Real World, I am over that – now it's all about how fast the 20-year old skanks sleep with each other or get some lesbian-lite action going in the hot tub. No fun – none of the actual interpersonal tension of living with people you didn't choose.

Now the Real World/Road Rules Challenges? I can still dig those…

Meh, MTV as a music channel is no longer relevant in the age of the internet.

Just this morning I started randomly looking up old music videos that I enjoyed when I was in middle school and high school, back when MTV actually DID play videos, and I found nearly every one I typed in. I'm sure the same would go for anything coming out today as well.

Here is the list of videos I watched this morning on my own accord:

Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Tom Petty - Mary Jane's Last Dance
Green Day - Basketcase
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
Fountains of Wayne - Radiation Vibe
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Blind Melon - No Rain
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train
Weezer - Buddy Holly
No Doubt - I'm Just a Girl
The Offspring - Come Out and Play

I watch the Hills on MTV and that's it.

Now if they go HD and kick it off with the LC Sex Video, then maybe I'll watch it again, but otherwsie, it ceased existing as a Music TV channel for me about 10 years ago, maybe more.

I don't even watch TRL any longer since they stopped showing videos in their entirety.

lc as in lauren conrad has a sex video? sweet

Blacks are over-represented on MTV. For only being 12% of the population, they get 50% of the airtime. Or do you disagree with this as well, H.Rap Brown?

Yeah, absolutely. I whole-heartedly agree. Cause "The Hills", "Laguna Beach", & "TRL" are about as black as programming can get. Black Panther propaganda and what not . . . .

Here's Lauren's statement:

4/5/07 Statement from Lauren

"I am posting this note on my website regarding the reports that have circulated on the internet this morning. Jason and I would like to make it clear that we did not make a tape with us having sex. Jason and I are both shocked and hurt that people would say such horrible things about us. I can't believe that somebody would go to such great lengths to try to damage my reputation. I feel very grateful and blessed to have friends and family to support me at this time. I would especially like to thank all my fans for standing by me."

Perez Hilton reported it, then Jason was arrested, now the offers are said to be over a $1 Million for the tape. He might be a bit desperate now.

supposed to do 2 months for that, and has 3 court dates to go. some people shouldnt drink

If this is a false rumor, my money is on Spencer Pratt being the one spreading it.

spencer talks to heidi like i talk to my cat

post of the week

I seriously miss 120 minutes! In middle school, I would sneak out of bed to watch it. They totally destroyed things when I was in high school. I miss watching good music videos.

I think what bothers me a lot about MTV is that it doesn't reflect it's own name. They should be forced to change their name!

Fuse is somewhat enjoyable. It used to be really awesome a few years ago, but now it's starting to really go down hill.

M2 was really good like 10 years ago before most people even thought of having satalite. While they do show some music videos, it's basically becoming part 2 of the reality tv bullshit.

VH1 atleast has a few amusing things to watch. Best Week Ever is addicted. I really love watching that and the I love (insert decade here) programing.

Somebody mentioned The Alternative which is on VH1 Classic. I fucking love that show. I've been watching it since it first started back in Summer of 2004. Before then, to see cool old school alt rock videos, I'd have to watch their program called We Are the 80s. I've noticed that vh1 classic has been adding more 90s stuff which is a bit haunting. (It's weird to be 21 and to feel old about a particular music video) The one nice thing about the channel overall is that they're all about music and that's it.

and what, pray tell, is wrong with that? i think that Wired is the best monthly out there.

There's always The Tube Music Network if you don't like the MTV channels

but you have to watch out, the alternative does show alot of videos over and over- some of them i don't mind watching over and over, like "birdhouse in your soul" (i was watching it a month ago or so and something occurred to me, that video is filmed in the jefferson building of the library of congress) or "this corrosion."

i think i've got 10+ vcr tapes of 120 minutes from early to mid-90s, including the dave kendall, lewis largent, and matt pinhead, err pinfield hosting years.
