NO FUCKING KIDDING.  I HATE MTV! 

Wouldn't it be great if we could boycott it!  I'd like to petition them to
change the name to NOMTV as in NO MUSIC TELEVISION.

This shit is ridiculous!  Has anyone ever read that idiotic and extemely obtuse
chatter that they 'run' on the screen?

I agree.  But Kurt's probably gonna get the can, he's much to intelligent
for MTV!

>6)  are they EVER going to show Page & Plant?

Of course not!  P/P are real bonofide musicians that produce meaningful
music, not
fluff for the masses like that mariah bitch or rap....

Thank god i never saw that.  Sounds really stupid.

Agreed!

>9)  why is it that all the best "oldies" are on VH-! (Video HITS-1), and

Actually, VH1 has much more substance than MTV!

MTV is murdering music.  Actually, it seems to me (and i know next to nothing
about rap) that rap never would have gotten to be such a big thing among the 
young if MTV hadn't started playing it all the time.  In fact, my conspiracy
theory
is that the government is trying to make the youth even more stupid by
bombarding them
with this stupid music that's only a rip-off of the originals, hence trying
to teach the 
youth of the country that you don't have to be an original thinker to be
successful.
(maybe I watch the x-files to much......)

I DON"T WANT MY MTV!!!
