i've never had more hate for mtv/vh1 than now

reversedarwinism

i've been checking these two channels to see if i can catch the r&r HOF ceremony. i've yet to see it, but what i have seen is disgusting. i'm 28, so i grew up on mtv with ...... what were those things???? oh yeah.... music videos. we didn't have vh1 so i don't know what that was about. both channels now are complete brainwashing bullshit. kids act like they are told to from these networks. they all talk just like the kids on the "rich kids shows". "my sweet sixteen" is one of the worst. i used to watch my 14 year old sis get so into this and other mtv shows. it influences their attitudes and their focus. i was a kid like any other kid, but i was so much more aware of the world and reality than most kids today. its all shows about nothing, drama about nothing. a bunch of "look at me, look at me, gimme some attention" its fucking horrible. no way my kids get to watch shit like this when they get older. damn, now i sound like my mom. but she was worried about my other sis falling in love with axl rose and that causing her to make bad choices in boyfriends; i'm worried about my kids acting like brats and not having any interest in anything important at all. ya know, like the average 14 year old kid today.

so that is my rant today, feel free to join in bashing these networks. if you need some inspiration just turn on the tv, "i love new york" is on vh1 right now and "exposed" on mtv - thats right kids act just like this. god help us.

totally agree. people are starving there are wars going on and these fucking spoiled little brat bitches are getting million dollar birthday parties and when they finally do talk about or show any so called music it's always shit.

The only time I watch either channel is for VH1 when they air the Behind the Music series. I know that it's probably not the best source for exact events in some band's life, but I'll be damned if that show isn't interesting. Other than that, those two networks are horrible.

oh yeah, i do like that show. used to watch it quite a bit when they showed it often. let me see whats on now..... the show with vannila ice and ron jeremy on vh1 and OH MY GOD music videos on mtv. i don't believe it. wow fergie really sucks. didn't gwen stefani put this song out in 05. and they only show a fraction of the video - of course. they must know the kids are in school to be showing videos like this.

the tweens dont have enough of an attention span for more than a fraction of a video. it's not about a song, it's a commercial. it's telling them how they should look and dress and what they should buy. that's it.

ya know its really really sad to talk to my lil sis and her friends. they are completely clueless about everything. i mean its truely amazing. its just like that segment on jay leno where they ask random questions - seriously, its that bad. i agree that its all a marketing scam.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm always so terrified for my little sister. She's almost 14, and its like she doesn't care about anything except fashion, and what's popular. I mean, maybe that's what all 14 year olds have always been like, but it feels like she doesn't care at all about anything important. Hopefully my brother and I can influence and her and make her care more about what's going on in the world. Hopefully she still has time to be saved.

no, no i really think its not the same as when we were 14. i could atleast look at a map and tell you where any state is. and i knew when lincoln was pres and what the civil war was about. i'm tellin you, they really don't know shit. no history, no current events, not even close to algebra level in mathematics.

Well, maybe in general that's true. Thankfully my sister seems to be ok when it comes to school subjects ( math, science, especially English (she reads a lot of fiction), history (ok), foreign language she's real good). But when it comes to current events... Damn, she doesn't even care. I don't know. I just hope she'll be alright. I don't want a spoiled brat for a sister...

I was joking with someone when I found out that the HOF induction was not going to be aired on Vh1 like it always is..

I said..

They'll probably show reruns of some shit like I Love New York instead

And lo and behold, I turned to vh1 that night on the off chance that what I heard was wrong, and they were running a marathon of I Love New York.

Those channels have descended into total hell.

Did it not run on VH1 today? I set it up to TiVo this morning.

I'm not sure, I was talking about the night it took place though (last monday or whenever it was). If they're showing it I'll keep an eye out.. I'd love to see it.

VH1 Classic ran it live, but I think VH1 was going to rebroadcast it today.

I've reached a point were I say fuck cable, TV, almost all radio, professional sports, and most music and movies. In fact, I feel most of the pop-culture (and even so called "underground" or "edgy" stuff) that Americans seem to find entertaining or important is a bunch of shit. Fuck all of it. Man, I feel like I'm getting old, but seriously! I don't watch TV, but when I'm at someone's house and I turn it on I'm actually offended by how stump dumb and empty it is! Out of a thousand channels 99% the time if I do find something I want to watch, its on PBS. Man, that's sad.
