I want to know WHY?
Seriously, there is nothing good about MTV. Let's start at the beginning with their initial advertising in New Zealand; computerised images of naked people do not make good commercials. I may love Atari 2600 graphics, but they should never be used to draw a penis. Especially on tv.
And then there's the shows; you get rednecks running around hurting themselves because they don't know any better, celebrities showing off how rich they are and the ludicrous things they have bought, and people doing up cars in such a way that would inspire every boy racer to spend the rest of their life spending money on their cars. Because that's what the world needs - more loud, obnoxious cars with fancy things.
And then you have the music - the M in MTV.
Someone want to tell me where that is? This isn't the 80's anymore, when MTV was actually revolutionary and played music all the time. Now it's just a subtext to everything; the channel is much more about the culture and helping to push trends.
Most importantly, MTV is just big marketing tool used to push products and make kids think something is cool.
MTV sucks

Agreed.
It's also used as a nice propoganda vehicle to encourage teenagers to feel like rejects and retards if they're not actively and constantly dating, and to encourage teenagers to develop eating disorders in order to look like the projected image of what teenagers are meant to be.
it was one of those blogs where you just have too much to say and it doesn't all manage to come out.
on a side, i had an argument with a friend of mine who had the gall to say MTV is great because the shows are fantastic and - get this - started complaining about BET because it is purely for black people
needless to say i told him how much of a loser he is
