MTV is joining the pro war crew by highlighting articles on it's website that support war and trouncing System of a Down's right to free speech.

We all like System, they have made a lot of money for MTV. However, the members of the band include diverse ethnicities, some that have experienced war directly or indirectly in their lifetime. MTV has decided that the video "BOOM", which shows millions of people around the world protesting and making a real difference, cannot be aired. Ridiculous. Now MTV has joined the side of the warmongers. We can rename it murder TV and tell them to go take a crap. I know for sure that if I have kids, they are never to watch that corp[orate bullshit. Everyone should start calling in and demanding that they play Boom on TRL. It would be the strongest clue to what's going on on the streets. We have to demand MTV play good music, even if it disagrees with the government. I don't have their number.

but this is the adress to TRL where you can fill in an "other," category at the bottom and request the video, bombard them please!!

on KPFK this morning they mentioned that MTV was showing the clip on wednesday before the bombing of baghdad started, then then removed it from regular rotation on friday and relegated it to maybe an occasional showing on MTV2, which only spoiled brats with satellite tv can pick up.

myself and a number of friends have tried to vote for it on the website today and all we get is "sorry, your vote cannot be counted at this time," but when you vote for fake-ass nelly or that little osbourne brat it goes through;

looks like the viacom whores at mtv have cut us off at the pass

Did it ever occur to you morons that maybe they just don't like the video, or that the record company isn't pushing it, or that at most, MTV only airs between 7 and 8% of all videos submitted or that it doesn't clear standards and practices for non political reasons or that it might be too long as is what keeps most videos off the air or that.............

Nope? It's all a conspiracy right. Thank God you people form such an inneffectual minority.

Way to go, fresca. Whenever we fascists don't have an argument, we can always resort to name-calling.

Yeah. I do it often. I always seem to get my ass kicked whenever I try to debate a liberal.
