The Great MTV conspiracy

Bighoss · 2004-08-30, 11:04 AM

okay I figured this all out the other day when I was babysitting for a few hours for a neighbors kid. He decides he wants to watch TV since he's never seen a flatscreen TV before and immediatly goes for nickoldeon if thats how you spell it. Well that channel sure as hell has changed from mindless/semi funny cartoons that you could zone out on when you were ages 3-9. Its turned into this retarded teeny bopper pre teen bullshit channel that fully supports all the crappy pop music. Then I realized that its owned by the same company that controls MTV. So to insure that they'll keep a constant steady stream of viewers to MTV that have MTV-kids! Once the kids hit 10 or 11 they graduate up to MTV where they are further indulged in crap until they wake the fuck up.

It's so sad, isn't it?

It is, I miss Tin-Tin. That was a damn good show, and now it's gone. Same with Doug.

It has been like that for ages, back in my day we had GI.Joe and transformers... now all the kids have are shows that make them worship false gods, eventually they become major consumers who enrich the very people who brainwashed them. They get shows like "barbie super duper island fun" where the main character is shown buying too much crap... they give the example and the kids follow.

If this continues our society is gonna be a bunch of one brainless mass that follows everything that's "In" according to britney or some other blonde puppet that uses her body to make money. It's already happening... look around you... I have seen 13 year old girls running around in mini skirts and low rise jeans, I have heard 15 year olds saying "I want breast implants!" or "I'm a pimp beyotch!".

Hell I even have a 16 year old cousin that want to be a freaking hip-hop dancer when she gets out of high school. It's pathetic...

Ren and Stimpy

Rocko's Modern Life

Shelby Woo (kidding here, it was a hilariously racist show without trying to be, and she always got the shit cases of like missing fondue sets)

Doug

Pete n' Pete

The list goes on, but man, oldschool Nick was great because it had juvenille appeal while still being engaging enough for an older audience. Fuck Viacom or whoever currently owns it.

I remember when MTV actually played Music Videos.

ahh, those were the days.

Now we have Room Raiders, where 3 superficial people are subjected to 1 ultrasuperficial person (who is usually an asshole) performing superficial searches on their superficial possesions.

Oh, how enlightened our generation has become.

Not to mention Jackass, which is just plain retarded.

For some reason I imagined Hamma as an old man standing around an oil barrel with fire coming out for heat in a city thats been bombed and destroyed and he saying, "I remeber when MTV actually played Music Videos" and a young kid ask, "you mean in the great before time? tell us about the before time again"
