That incredible Craigslist casting call for a reality TV of Occupy Wall Street was real, as confirmed by the New York Times’ Brian Stelter. MTV’s True Life: I’m Occupying Wall Street premieres November 5th. Read more »
MTV, a cable network responsible for creating brain-numbing programs that damage more kids than pot ever could, is looking for young people, 15-28, who can’t control their urge for blunts and bong hits. “Are you addicted to marijuana,” teases the production company tasked with casting these rare anomalies. Sensing how difficult it might be to actually find these potential “True Life” candidates, abusers of so called “synthetic marijuana” can apply too, clearly making them the most pathetic, albeit entertaining, minority ever.
The VMAs were last night and MTV took to their tumblr to recap some the show’s highlights. But instead of a boring recap they made everything into exciting gifs. How meme-y! MTV, you’re so on target with your young demographic. Newfangled gifs for everyone! Here’s a couple of our favorites, click through to engage the network’s super lame efforts.
Here’s a 5 min bit of Fight For Your Right Revisited which premiered last night and its fisted to the brim with celeb cameos, even more slow-mo glass breaking, superfluous Sevigny, something about restauranting with Ted Danson, smoke clouds and cowbell. Read more »
Of course not. No one can, it’s M-T-V. But they can make a lot of money trying, so hats off to the Vice crew for their new ‘Guide To Everything‘ show which will premiere on the network December 6 at 11pm. Hopefully it includes a segment on how to burn sold out artwork. Read more »
After holding some silly employment contest, the network that is contributing to the downfall of America announced a winner. Gabi Gregg will be MTV’s first “Twitter Jockey” or TJ, although she’ll also be responsible for updating their Facebook and blogs, essentially making her a social media editor, but I guess that’s not as catchy.
Long before MTV flooded the airwaves with brain-killing tween programming, the network has been making America dumb. It’s called “the MTV effect.” A smart person explains: “When MTV came on, it started showing music videos that had very quick edits… Consequently, the pacing of other television and films sped up too, with much quicker edits.” Researchers believe these rapid-paced broadcasts may be a key factor for why so many TV-obsessed Americans have such short attention spans. |Science Daily|
Wednesday is the most useless day of the week. So, here’s a useless new video promoting MTV Belgium’s “new breed of music.” It features rabbits fucking wearing t-shirts with music stars names on them. It is truly idiotic, so fitting for the channel. But the various “collaborations” are worth noting. Read more »
It’s not like anyone watches MTV for the videos anyway—they did adjust their logo for that very reason—but the network has gone ahead and banned Lady Gaga’s new lesbian-prison-sex laced “Telephone” video anyway. Update: MTV didn’t ban, see commenter, CNN misreported! Read more »
MTV, finally coming to terms with what many have been saying for years, is redesigning its logo to reflect that the network is more of a reality show-driven one than a music driven one. The new logo is devoid of the term “music television” and will feature the images of its various reality stars inside of the familiar giant “M.” Can’t wait for the version featuring the Jersey Shore cast. |Daily News|
