I hate MTV. I hate everything they stand for, and I hate everything they have become. I hate that once a year, some of the biggest douchebags on the planet all gather in one place to jerk themselves off and receive awards that don’t matter. I hate that 364 days of the year, MTV plays nothing but garbage reality TV shows and shallow, meaningless gossip shows. Then on one day of the year, they give away awards to people who make bullshit music videos that you can’t even watch unless you’re a devout fan of one of MTV’s other 900 channels.
“Oooh, that was a good video but they only played it once on MTV67. I wish they would play it more often on MTV43.” – Probably something some knucklehead said
MTV is a disgrace to music. To me, it stands for “Moron Television.” If you watch MTV and you like it, you’re probably a moron. The last good show on MTV was Beavis and Butthead. Even that was a fluke, because the only reason MTV picked up the show was to be controversial. They could have cared less about the sociological impact and the generational importance of the show. It’s all about making money to them, and they will sell your daughters into sex slavery every damned day to make that green.
Needless to say I don’t watch the VMAs. Last night, I was kinda disappointed at the attention that it was getting on Twitter, if for no other reason than that’s how I had to find out that Kanye once again proved himself to be the most egotistical bitch in the entire world. I might actually give Kanye a high five for making a mockery of the awards, but I know that he wasn’t trying to be ironic. He probably cares more about the VMAs than anyone else there, and that makes him the biggest loser of the bunch.
One of the reasons why I stopped watching the VMAs is because I got so sick of watching MTV purposely stir the pot. For example, just after the shooting went down at the Source Awards, MTV tried to stir up the same kind of drama on the VMAs hoping for another conflict to arise. They exploited a very dangerous situation, and they did it for ratings. Luckily no one took them seriously enough. Every year they put people together in scenarios that are for no other intention than to start some shit. I’m tired of it, music is so much more than what is going on in artists lives. Why do people care so little about the music and get so wrapped up in the lives of their favorite artists?
Taylor Swift is a talented person. I’ve heard some of her music. Beyonce is also very talented, but her music is too assembly line pop music for me. How can we sit here and feel sorry for Taylor Swift? She’s 17 years old, I’m sure she’s seen the VMAs before. Everyone knows what happens at this awards show. We’re all going to cry about it because Kanye stole her moment? WHAT MOMENT? They’re not even awarding her for her music, they’re awarding her for a music video. Why do people care so much more about the video than the song? We sit here and support media outlets like Sony Music, Viacom and Clear Channel who perpetuate this disgusting parade of fuckery, then we turn around the next day and write on our blogs about how bad pop music is. The reason why pop music is so bad is because of the people that support it. My hands are clean.
Fuck MTV. Fuck a VMA. Fuck a music video. Fuck Taylor Swift Fuck Kanye West and most importantly, FUCK YOU for making it all a success. Maybe one day you’ll learn.
P.S. Also remember, whatever Lady GaGa is or isn’t wearing, she’s got a weiner under there. Just sayin.
