The Daily Swarm

Being that this "award" show is called the "VIDEO Music Awards", and that MTV hasn't shown a video in the last 20 years shows that the collective stupidity of the audience in question is surpassed ONLY by their intellectual immaturity.

Maybe these people should be all taken someplace and be forced to watch The History Channel in hopes that maybe they'll actually not only learn something productive, but they'll also be able to find their own country on a map because it's a fact that right now they can't and this is AFTER high school graduation.

But hey, they sure can tell you what Britney Lohan shoved into any number of their own body orifices last week and we all know how important that is in the day to day of life, right?

Haters my ass. You should be utterly embarrassed by your comments RWMS. Didn't you read the demographics? 12 to 34!?! That should have read 12 to 13, because that's the relative I.Q. level that the channel panders to. Anyone who's over the age of 13, let alone 34 years old and admits to watching MTV without being drunk or on drugs is in need of some serious mental help.

But then again, that's just my opinion and everyone has a right to be, well, never mind. I just won't go there and lower myself to that level.

It's kinda hard to claim that their HOST correlates to their rating boost. After all, most people choose to watch a program based on potential content... this being the music videos themselves.... Russell Brand isn't some comic icon that made X million viewers go "Oh, Russell's hosting? I'm definately going to watch it". Most people never heard of him... Let's not forget, this countries population, and WORLD's population, has had a substantial increase compared to last year, so it's simple mathematics and plain common sense that would that the show would naturally have more viewers over the previous year.

If you wish to make a true analysis as to how well they are doing, consider the fact that their viewer rating is still nearly 5 million viewers (roughly 40%) lower than the 12 million who watched back in 1999. So with a significant population growth world-wide, how are they managing to do worse year-over-year than what they did 9 years ago?

Simple... nobody's listening. The music genre has changed foot... Rock/Metal is making a BIG comeback... Rap is played out and dying like a sinking ship (especially with all of this popcorn/seseme street junk that they keep coming out with that would make Biggie Smalls and Tupac turn over in their graves)... and lo and behold, what is MTV doing? Sticking with their guns in hopes that people actually watch Britney Spears for her music (lol), or that people actually like grooving to hip-hop songs that talk about "chicken noodle soup" and "lollipops". They haven't caught on yet, and maybe never will.

Which kind of baffles me, considering how quick they were to capitalize on the general public's thirst for "reality" shows. But that cash cow has been milked dry.. the titty is shriveled up... and MTV is still standing by with an open mouth, waiting to get that one last drop.

Woof
