I Don't Want My MTV

Today I have a plea.  Not a rant, not a bitch-fest, a plea.  HEAR ME MTV.  PLEASE STOP MAKING TELEVISION SHOWS!  After careful consideration, your programming line-up has been deemed vacuous, incendiary and void of any and all substance.  When I was a child, I watched Madonna, Motley Crue and  The Bangles on MTV, in MUSIC VIDEOS. That’s what the “M” used to stand for.  Now it stands for MalevolentMTV used to be the most relevant source of music and music news to its young audience.  Kids would rush home from school to catch World Premiere Videos, MTV Unplugged, and Total Request Live (TRL).  Personally, on Saturday nights I stayed up late for the Headbangers Ball.  Today, our youth (and some not so youthful) are assaulted with programs such as “Tila Tequila, a Shot at Love.”  This abysmal dreg of society looking for bi-sexual staged relationships, recently took full publicity stunt advantage of her “fiancée’s” death.  The late Casey Johnson (Johnson & Johnson heiress), was found dead at age 30 earlier this month and had apparently been dead for several days before her cleaning lady found her.  Clearly what would happen to someone in a loving relationship.  Tila “grieved” on Twitter, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgfN6l4xlVU saying “My wifey’s not dead, she’s just in a coma!!!  Omg!!!”  And then there’s Heidi Montag of “The Hills”, who recently plotted with her creepy husband Spencer to buy herself some press by apparently getting ten plastic surgeries in a day.  Something you really want insecure, adolescent girls who watch MTV to idolize.  I feel dirty just writing about these people.  This all brings me to the man of the hour.  Markice “Kesan” Moore  reality star of MTV’s “From G’s to Gents” is currently wanted by Georgia police for beating his one-year-old daughter.  He’s accused of accused of breaking both of his infant daughter’s arms, one leg, 3 ribs, a collarbone and bruising all over her body.  http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/20/mtv-gs-to-gents-star-markice-kesan-moore-police-attack-baby-infant-broken-bones/ I hope he and MTV die a painful death.  I just hope MTV dies much faster.

  1. Beth, you NEED to watch 16 and Pregnant! It will redeem MTV for you. It's a fantastic series, something you should tell every 12 year old girl and boy to watch.
    In fact, if you go to mtv.com and type 16 and pregnant full episodes, you can catch one, SANS commercials!
