MTV.

Jump to Comments

Today, I’m going to stray away from the craziness that is hockey for just one blog. I told you that I would talk about MTV the other day, and here it is. So, I’m a little late… how will I ever gain your trust again? You’ll see but that will need to wait another day.

Watch me.

Ew.

 

Dear Madonna,

Stop. Please.

Love,

If you got through the entire video, Congratulations! I understand she’s fit and has a rockin’ body for her age, for anyone’s age, but she needs Justin Timberlake and Timbaland to make “decent” music. She’s not the same as she once was and I wish someone would tell her. Your outfit is disturbing and I hope that Justin took a shower after that video shoot. What would Jason Pominville think?

Maybe I have it all wrong. Maybe, they are using those four minutes to save the world from MTV.

I watched MTV for the first time in a long time. I’m disappointed. I can’t believe it’s still running. I remember the days when I would come home from school and watch Total Request Live (not this “TRL”) with Carson Daily while doing my homework.

Who is this Australian chick? I’m sure she’s a nice girl, but she makes me nervous (and it’s not the accent, I love Australia!).

Will Smith is also lost without Carson 

Remember the days they would play entire videos? GASP! I know. Remember when Jenny McCarthy was on Singled Out? DUDE! Boy Meets World even featured an episode where Eric Matthews was on Singled Out! Remember artists like Snoop Dogg when he drank Gin and Juice and put “izzle” at the end of every possible word (never mind, he still does), Sean Combs who dated J. Lo. and was still known solely as Puff Daddy, and how can we forget about pre-breakdown Mariah (that’s Mimi to you!) and Britney?

In the new age of MTV, full videos are only shown when they have a world “premiere” video.” They simply whisk their way through the countdown barely speaking the artists’ name. Then I realized their target audience must obviously be high school brats. I really hope I wasn’t that annoying when I was in high school. Uhh. Remember The Real World [fill in the blank city] when it was entertaining and it was the only reality show on TV? Yes, the Real World which was blatantly racist but everyone overlooked that fact because it was amazing and featured angry black man, gay man, the girl who claims she’s “nice” but turns out to be slutty, man whore white guy, and two others who are drunken underagers (well, that’s still the plot)? Then we have the ever-popular “Cribs” in which we must endure hours of looking into houses we will never afford owned by brainless athletes/washed up actors/actresses that have nothing to do with music. Now, all we have are crappy and extremely scripted reality TV shows that you can’t help but watch because it’s addicting, filled with drama, and you feel a lot better about your life after watching it. OK, I’ll admit, I watch it too.

MTV, STOP! You’re ruining the children!

*Update* If any of you watch basketball, you surely watched the NCAA Final Fours. This reminds me of my middle school days when my friends and I would go to basketball games every Friday in the gym-when there were no dances of course! Recap:

Kansas- 75 Memphis- 68
