There, we said it. If ever there was an example of a lofty idea gone to the dogs it's MTV. It was supposed to be a simple idea. Music Television. But you know what's an even simpler idea? Prostitution. So MTV decided to become whores. Corporate whores to be exact.
They don't show music videos any more. Instead they make the worst TV imaginable and then show 57 episodes of each show back to back cause it makes more money than showing music videos. So why bother calling yourself MTV in then? Why not call yourselves Whatever Makes The Most Money TV or WMTMMTV. Now there is increasing evidence that their Movie Awards are selling themselves to the highest bidder as well. Initially launched as an alternative to the stuffy awards shows on the circuit, they wanted to favour the tastes of the young people but somebody must have typed it wrong in the proposal and it came up as 'favour the tastes of whoever the fuck pays you'.
Why is this on our mind at the moment? Well MTV have this year added a category for Best Summer Movie of The Year So Far. The nominees are:
Iron Man
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Meth
Sex and the City: The Movie
Speed Racer
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
That's right. Only one of the movies has been released...last week! They have created a category to promote upcoming movies. Man those studio publicists are good. Next year they should have a category for them. Added to that, they have nominated National Treasure 2 and Pirates of The Carribean: Whatever The Third One's Called for Best Film. Are they being ironic?...Oh I geddit. It's funny cause it's shit.
News just in: MTV are looking for a blogger for their awards. (Click the headline above) What's that they're paying money? Where do we sign up?
