MTV? Nope.


MTV does not exist anymore. It is a name, A brand.  I have yet to see ONE valid music video, or even a show ABOUT music on that station.  With shows like "The Hills" and "CRIBS" and such, who the fuck do they think they are still calling it MTV? 

I can not STAND The Hills. These people are getting paid to live. Literally. They get paychecksto go about their normal daily lives. Do you know how stupid and mundane that is?  The economy is in the shitter, and MTV pays these people millions of dollars to drink wine and call people on their cell phones.  It makes me wish a fire would engulf Hollywood and burn like a tire yard.

Let me just start with Lauren Conrad... 

she is all over the fucking place. I don't even think she HAS an opinion of her own. All she talks about is hair and boys. If she had to make an executive decision on the spot, I'm sure a bomb would get dropped somewhere or an angel would die.

Next off... how the FUCK do they find the "VJ"s (video jockeys) for this station? They have ridiculous personalities, over the top views, and REALLY annoying voices. They talk like they are doing a children's program. Literally.  

I can't think of the last time i was sitting around flipping through the channels and thought "Hey! I could go for some MTV right now." I would sooner reach for a gun and start writing a fucking note, because I would know my life as I knew it had ended anyways. 

And what is with "Real World"????   
HOW can you call a TV SHOW  "REAL WORLD"? That isn't the real world. The real world is all the people staring at their TVs in disbelief that this made it into regular programming.  What executive thought "Hey! I got an idea! Lets throw a few sluts and a bunch of brain deadroidmonkeys in a house together and make them do stuff for money and broadcast it on TV!"

God dammit people! Wake up and watch something that MATTERS! Watch the Discovery channel or something... History TV, A&E, TLC, LIFE Network... ANYTHING. 

This Reality TV shit has to stop. I really don't know what to do with myself anymore when I pick up the TV controller. What happened to all the good TV shows? When did we start watching other people do real shit? I feel like a fucking voyeur. A pervert. Like I'm WATCHING these people's every move.


And some people get SO enthralled and into it. MTV has a "Hills After show" where they sit around and fucking talk about what they JUST watched for like a fucking HOUR!  
Seriously, folks... I can't make this shit up. They have a studio audience that sit around and do Q&A with real stars of the show, and they all talk and yammer for an hour about what they think about the show, and what Lauren was wearing, and how they shouldn't talk about such and such, and not to blow Brody Jenner.... you know what???

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY SOME MUSIC!

Do you know how many good bands are out there right now that are struggling for the chance to get noticed? Do people even bother MAKING music videos anymore other than like Usher, Ne-Yo, and Fiddy Cent? Nope. And I'll tell you why... THERE IS NO MEDIUM TO DISPLAY THEM. 
 You have a better chance marketing your SONG to a TV SHOW then to get a record deal. Yup. It's true.  Artists that got their start/boost by having their songs on a TV show: (the OC) "All American Rejects" , "Something Corporate", "Dashboard Confessional", "Imogen Heap",  "Adele"  etc etc etc... I'm just saying... Fuck reality TV because it's not reality. It's a diversion from life. A diversion from learning, and most of all... a diversion from music.

ok so i kind of like the hills. but i hate the after show... that girls voice and hair bugs me and they're both really obnoxious and a waste of time. the real world makes me want to kill myself because the people are so fucking stupid. if mtv does actually show a music video, it's some crap that should be on BET. you're right, mtv blows.
