This is the most powerful move mtv has made in years. The dj is the enemy to right wing christian censors who want to control what we see.\r\n\r\nVH1 has the \"behind the scenes\" and \"bands on the run\" which is sabatage at its best. They informed the nation about what really happened at the Demacratic national convention with rage against the machine and the lapd rights violaters.\r\n\r\nMTV has launched 4 networks including internet radio, MTV 2, and MTV X. This is just what we all need. \r\n\r\nMTV was helpful in getting people to vote in this last election.\r\n\r\nI cannot stand all the pop corporate non-sense that fills the mtv and vh1 airwaves but, it is very important in the whole sceme of things. We have to tolerate mtv and its corporate agenda because it is on our side in the long run.\r\n\r\nI think you should attend a rave and then watch comedy central or mtv and then realize that they are all we have left as youth. FUCK a library or the Church!!! Seek out new music yourself and stop complaining when mtv sells you an idea. The music revolution is allready here so seek it out.\r\n\r\nChristians and conservative groups cringe at the idea of high school children raving on drugs then watching south park or thats my bush fucked up.\r\n\r\nHardball and cnn and larry king and pax are just not as trippy as all these \"shows\" on mtv and vh1.\r\n\r\nGet with the times people!!!\r\n\r\nLike limp bizkit, \"It's my way. My way or the HIGH-way\".\r\n\r\nhaha take that!!!!\r\n\r\nPS. I am tired of playing checkers with insane cristian wacko's who want to control what I see and hear.","author":"x-clamation","parent_id":7380,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2001-06-15 19:28:34","modified":"2001-06-15 20:00:01","fileurl":""},{"id":7405,"heading":"You Are A Limp Biscuit!","article":"That had to be the lamest shit, especially quoting limp biscuit,\r\nthe lamest fucking band in the world.  if you want to be an idiot\r\nand continue to subject  your little brain to corporate cable,\r\nwhich i'm sure your mommy and daddy paid for, fbe my guest,\r\nthe rest of us enlightened young people will go out organizing\r\nto protect ourselves from dumbshits like you.\r\n\r\nFUCK MTV AND VHI AND THE CATTLE THAT WATCH IT (which\r\nisn't that many to be honest, so ya'll can be dealty with....\r\n\r\nanarchy...\r\n","author":"fuckmtv@monopo.com","parent_id":7380,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2001-06-15 22:00:43","modified":"2001-06-15 22:37:35","fileurl":""},{"id":7413,"heading":"Have you seen the new MTV ads?","article":"such as the ones at bus stops? they use the oil with the lazers comming out of it's eyes. \"The All Seeing Owl\" ..
