in a past rant, i talked about how i don't watch mtv anymore. there's just no point. i got sick of endless and meaningless real world/road rules challenges, dating shows, and making the bands. hey diddy, or whatever the fuck your name is, i've just two things to say about making the band 3, and they are as follows: making the band 1 and making the band 2. you'll see them in twenty years on that goddamn e! channel on one of those (also meaningless and endless) "where are they now" cloned tv shows.
unfortunately, i still want to find out news about bands i like. so i thought that going to mtv's website would be an ok option. goddamn, what a moron i am. recently they've "updated" their website, and i have never seen such a waste of bandwidth in my entire life.
first thing that pops up is a 30 second toothpaste commercial. their main picture is of their show "laguna beach". what the fuck is that supposed to be about? from what i understand, it's a teenage version of "real world" with rich snobby white kids. that's just what america's youth needs to see. the picture next to it is of a football show. a football show? how did that idea leave the conference room? what expert in media studies and production went in to the meeting and said "you know what? i got this great idea for a show on mtv. we go to a high school and we film the football players."? one guy at the meeting probably said "can we put some music in the show", and the expert said "you're fired!"
mtv overdrive = biggest piece of internet garbage since the numa numa video. put simply, it doesn't work. i don't care what internet connection you have, it doesn't work. i'm running a cable modem, and any kind of video i want to watch takes at least 5 minutes to load. there's a loading page, then there's 10 seconds of an "mtv overdrive" video, then there's another loading page, then there's and advertisement, then another loading page, then a license download page, then another loading page, then a bandwidth selection page, then another loading page, and if you haven't stabbed yourself in the genitals with a pair of scissors by the time you've passed all this, there may be a music video in your future.
i'd like to organize a group of people to take the LIRR with me to 1515 broadway in manhattan, stand outside the mtv building, home of some of the worse tv programming ever conceived by retards, and just piss on the doors. then we can take the subway downtown to mcsorley's pub, get royally drunk, get back uptown, and go across the street from mtv and piss on the doors of the vh1 building. on the way back to penn station, we can swing by fuse and watch some actual music videos. who's with me?
