MTV Sucks...

The VMAs are on tonight and it struck me just how bad MTV sucks.

I suppose I shouldn’t expect too much from a music video awards show held by a channel that doesn’t play any music videos.

MTV was created in the early nineteen-eighties because somebody discovered bands who had music videos to promote the sales of their albums sold at least forty percent more records than bands without one. This piece of information sparked interest to make a channel devoted to and for music, music videos and music news.

I am old enough to remember watching MTV's first broadcast.

Does anyone else remember watching MTV and loving all the variety of music they used to put on the air?

Remember when they actually employed intelligent and knowledgeable people who knew about bands, music and the music industry?

They threw all that out the window a long time ago.

What MTV has evolved into is so unwatchable to me that it makes my brain hurt when for some un-Godly reason it remains on my televison screen for more than thirty seconds.

The channel has gone from being a cutting edge iconic symbol from my youth of rock n' roll rebellion into a symbol of corporatism, inane diatribes, non-existent moral values, hypocrisy, spewing out the most ignorant and distasteful of the "reality" shows out there and the promotion of mostly cookie cutter, no talent, lip syncing ass-clowns.

I no longer want my MTV.
