I don’t see anything wrong with MTV. I don’t watch it. However, I think it has been incredibly successful at providing mindless dreck for brainless twits. MTV is and always has been for followers, people who choose not to think for themselves and allow MTV to determine what music they should listen to, what clothes to wear, what snappy catch-phrase to beat to death, etc. And **blessedwolf** , Martha Quinn is _mine!_, so back off. 😉 ---

From TheGoat’s news desk today: \*\*Sun Rises in East Pope “Seems To Be Catholic,” Insiders Claim Bear Shit Found In Woods Blue Ribbon Math Panel Reports Two and Two is Four \*\* > [@](#): > > \*\*You know, there’s something about TheGoat shining through all these posts that I sort of like. Just a way with words or something. \*\* It might have been his reference to MTV as the “Evil pig-fuckers of darkness.” There’s potential there. ---

Thank you all for your kindness. It has been a difficult coming out period for me, but your continuing support has been like a ray of sunshine guiding me towards the light. ---

I thought MTV was cool in the late 80s and early 90s (before it turned into a corporate jism). Oh yeah it sucks ass now. We got the Backdoor boys! Christina “I’m all that” Aguilera, NSynC, Carson Daily beetin’ off in the bathroom, blah blah… blah. (insert puke smilie here) While there is some talent in the mix, it’s mostly over- glorified shit and masterbatorized to a T. Too much is devoted to image, gossip, and just pure BS instead of music itself. Oh yeah we got “The Real World,” “Road Rules” :rolleyes: It’s SO pathetic… I just skip the channel. Well sometimes I watch that Jackass show. It’s quite funny in a nasal sorta sense. ---

Last night was another great night of substance abuse, and MTV. (NO I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I WAS STILL WATCHING MTV). Anyway I has a couple more realizations that I felt needed to be shared. Real World fucking sucks. Where the hell do they find these people? The whole fucking thing is staged, and oh yeah … oh wait I wrote it down somwhere, where is it … oh yeah here it is I found it. MTV STILL FUCKING SUCKS. ---

[http://mp3.com/daltonhendrix](http://mp3.com/daltonhendrix) is a good place to start (heh heh), but there are gazillions of unknown artists with good music out there. The nice thing is there aren’t any corporate big dogs telling you what to like. You decide for yourself. If ya don’t like it…don’t go back. Vote with your feet. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by RickJay \* > \*\*Who the hell is Carson Daly? (I’m Canadian. No MTV. We have MuchMusic.) \*\* If memory serves me right, Carson Daly is the host of an MTV show called “Total Request Live,” where people call in to request music videos for them to play. ---
