As for the ridiculous shows that are on there, they're cash cows. Low overhead/ high ratings = $$. The beauty of reality TV. Also, ratings have proven that people don't want to see poor ugly people. People enjoy watching the rich/famous/spoiled people of the world so they can think they're close to them. Is this realistic? No, chances of achieving the economic status these kids are born into are slim to none. Very small percentages of shows were successful when they represented lower economic statuses, like "All in the Family" and "Rosanne". People don't want to watch fat people make jokes or bitch and moan. It's the age of slim and sexy. Capitalism baby, the "foundation" of this great nation of ours. Find out what brings in the denero caballero and run with it. Milk the teet till it's dry. Stroke it till your shootin puffs of wind. Another point these shows about ridiculously rich people, like My Super Sweet 16, it's like the Howard Stern Show, if you don't like it you hate it, but can't stop watching it. You see these spoiled little brats get whatever they want and act like divas. You get so angry, but do you dare to change the channel? NO, YOU WANT TO SEE IF THIS LITTLE SHITBAG GETS THE PARTY OF THEIR LIFE AND WHAT CAR THEY GET, HOPING SOMETHING TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN LIKE THE PARENT SAYING, "YOU'RE A TERRIBLE KID. I WISH I NEVER HAD YOU! PARTY IS OFF" OR DURING THE PARTY THE KID SHITS THEMSELF AND MAKES AN ASS OUT OF THEMSELF, BUT NOOOOO, THE KID GETS THE RIDICULOUS PARTY AND THE CAR/S ALL THE TIME. Will you watch the next episode if you happen to stumble upon it? unfortunately yes, because we love to hate and hate to love this crap. Personally I do enjoy and hate many of the programs. Plus I'm married to a woman who is an MTV addict, so I'm forced to watch some of these very annoying shows that have me screaming at the TV (The Hills - HATE IT *SPIT* LC IS A JUDGEMENTAL BEOTCH!!! I'M HAPPY BRODY WALKED OUT ON HER), cursing the world. SEE! I KNOW TOO MUCH! So here the question stands, did MTV sell out and is it bad for America?Yeah, they sold out a bit and I do miss the videos, but to be honest, when I was younger, I really watched MTV to catch a sexy video hoping to get my tug on before my parents came home, but now there's the internet, so that problem is solved. I did enjoy seeing a video for songs I liked on the radio, yet sometimes it ruined the music. Actually seeing the Eurof*gs wear tight shit with mad feathered hair sometime made me feel shameful for loving the songs. WHY OH WHY DID THE NEW WAVE GROUPS HAVE TO BE SO FRUITY?!?!?!? Anyways, back to the question...Is MTV bad for the world? I don't think so. Given some crappy stupid shows, MTV really is the only network that actively attempts to educate and get kids involved on worldly issues, politics, safe sex, environmentalism, etc. Remember, everything in this country is a business, especially networks, if you're not bringing in the money, you're out! So go watch VH1 ya old man! I think people are forgetting the age cohort for MTV is for like 12 - 25. As for the ridiculous shows that are on there, they’re cash cows.

I miss the days of Head Bangers Ball and Yo MTV Raps. I used to watch these programs religiously... I remember watching my first King Diamond video; I wanted to become a heavy metal guitarist...
