I thought I'd give it a chance. I don't know why I watch this mostly lame production. Anyway, regardless of your opinion, I wish they'd just leave politics out of these shows - not just the VMA's, but Oscar, Emmy, whatever. Just do the show.
And quit thanking God.  |

But yeah, like I care what a 9th grade dropout drug addict has to say about the war, or who a former gang-banging rapper wants to be in the White House in February....

Also, since when have someone's credentials/past stopped them from making profound statements? I'm not saying that MTV is going to have Lil Wayne say something mindblowingly deep, but remember, just because someone has a checkered past doesn't mean they don't have the capacity for deep, intellectual thought. |

| | | MTV has pretty much sucked since, well, 1985 or so. Irredeemable at this point, best to just let it go.  |

As soon as someone's opinion who you do agree with is being censored I know who'll be the ones crowing for constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression will be.
Fake edit: I like MTV.

It really depends on whether there are injuries or (preferably) not. Also depends on if it's in racing or on purpose, everyone watches NASCAR for the wrecks. |

It's been a part of rock and roll "fashion" to utter some bold political statement now for like 40 years. It goes great with the clothes, lights, image and dramatic camera angles.
I was simply referring to the fact that I personally felt that it sucked. Others may feel differently and I respect their right to.

Music Television no longer.
CTV. RCTV. RRCTV.
