sounds like TRL. and TRL will ruin the music industry.

EDIT: besides why watch MTV when FUSE is so much better.

No kidding, when they do play vids they cut off a shitload from it.

Squeeky · 2004-08-31, 07:21 PM

And the vids suck.

The only good thing from MTV is the True Life documentary series. That's it and that's all.

Viacom is leading to the degradation of Western civilization and our eventual downfall.

I'm serious.

The bigshots in the media don't know the power they wield and the damage they are doing. This is morally unacceptable.

Let's analyze.

The message is what concerns me. Go ahead, turn on the TV to the kiddie channels or MTV. It's all the same crap. They're more intent on selling crap to you than entertainment, and if they can do both, so much the better for them. They aren't just trying to sell music, either. They are trying to sell a lifestyle.

My little brothers watch Nickelodeon. I was not surpised when I noticed that between every cartoon, they are now playing music videos. I can understand MTV, but a kids show? Already they encourage buying their music? Start them early!

Additonally, you have to pay attention to exactly who goes on as guest speakers on their shows...I don't watch MTV at all, but I know for a fact the following people have been on Nickelodeon hosting shows of some sort:

-Rosie O'Donnell (lesbian, hosts Kid's Choice Awards, a kiddie verson of the VMAs)
-Elton John (gay) (appeared in a special interview)
-Linda Ellerby (Fired from a news organization for outright lying, now hosts "Nick News")

I'm not making any social commentary, nor saying that either one of them is despicable because of their sexual preference, but they aren't exactly being objective here: they are literally force-feeding these people so that kids don't make a choice, they see them on the TV and think that they're okay people. (Whether they are or aren't is up to you, not the TV, to decide.) It's brainwashing, by any other name.

Additonally, I've noticed that between shows, they also do some games. Nick Live or something or other. They played the usual games, like answer the questions right or you get slimed, put all the X in the Y, with lots of slime going everywhere, etc.

And they were using ebonics.

Don't any of you see it? What we are seeing is a brainwashing to accept pop culture, whether you like it or not. They're forcing mindless drones to become mindless consumers.

It's greed and it's despicable.

Some of you are just thinking that Aztec's off on a morality crusade again. Well, I'm not. Open your eyes. Realize what they are doing.

There is more, concerning the messages inside the cartoons, but it begins to get really non-politically correct. And Viacom/Nick isn't alone. There is some really wierd crap going on in other cartoonmakers.

Now, Nick/MTV is catering to the themes of sexuality/violence in the pop music, and is partly responsible for the moral rotting of this country. I've seen little girls, no older than ten, wearing those new shorts that are worn below the waistline. No older than ten. Viacom is pushing it all, along with the lot of them in the entertainment industry.

AztecWarrior · 2004-08-31, 10:44 PM

((Double posting so that if someone replies to the first post, then I edit it, they won't get it all.))

We are morally rotting.

There was a time when if an actor was caught smoking pot, his career was finished.

Now we have Paris Hilton, a slut, for no better word, who is rich via inheritance and does nothing to help out that family company, being caught in a sex tape. Popularity spikes and she gets her own TV shows (The Simple Life/s).

You may find the sex tape erotic. Fine. I'm not debating that. Look beyond her body. She is nothing. She is a remarkably stupid woman who is rich and goes on a TV show to nail exactly how distant she is from reality. And she's famous.

Every year, skirtlines get lower and lower. I'm actually going to take a page from the feminist book and wonder why there is so much objectification of women. Well, that's obvious: they're doing it to themselves. I'm not gay or anything, I find it attractive. But purely from a visual standpoint. I could never enter any sort of relationship with a drone like that.

In the mass media, the male is being portrayed as stupider and stupider while the female is always the one who reasons. This actually is a cartoon, albeit held by Cartoon Network.

It's something like "The Grim Reaper" because the main character's companion is the Grim Reaper, with a Jamaican accent. The kid is a complete idiot. Her sister is a genius, always bailing him out of trouble.

This isn't limited to cartoons. Commercials everywhere are having men protrayed as beasts who sit down on couches, guzzle beer, and watch football.

There was a cable commercial advertising a new channel blocking system. This dopey-looking guy sits down on the couch and tries to watch a channel, but it's blocked. He has a look of confusion throughout the commerical. He calls for his daughter. Daughter explains blocking system. "You have to ask mom." Calls the mother. Mother says "NO!".

Again, I'm not saying that the role of the woman is to cook and clean. I'm not saying "IRON MY SHIRT, BITCH!" I'm not portraying the male as the greater gender. I'm saying that men are being made less than human.

You can thank your favorite media companies for that.
