mTV instead of Mtv...
member when mtv was actually cool? lol
Cool is a bit of a stretch, but I remember them occasionally having good musicians, or good contests, or interesting interviews with colorful musicians. Now it's just this scripted reality bullshit, and it all makes me want to puke. ALL of these shows are a joke, they're all scripted, and fixed, and there are different endings based on who's most popular lol. That's how this shit works, and how or why anyone gets sucked in, blows my mind.
Pisses me off more when the US takes something from another country, and fucking just ruins it with this kinda shit. Take Ninja Warrior. This show was fucking BAD ASS. The people who participated were awesome, it was heartbreaking but fitting when an event would finish without anyone even fucking making it to the last course, and it was a short bio of the person, followed by some epic shit. Americans signed up all the time, but none of them even made it to the final part when I watched, they had to dumb shit down in the other versions, to make it beatable for us lol. Then, the US decides it's going to do their own version of the show. Lets dumb down the courses, and why don't we do 5-15 minute bios (sob stories, because this is fucking America, where it's not about what you can do, it's about how much strife you had to overcome before you could do this thing), with 10 seconds - 5 minutes of action, followed by more fucking boring bios, repeat. What do people want to see? NINJA WARRIOR SHIT! What are we going to give them? 45 minutes of sob stories, with 15 minutes of mediocre athletes in the middle. I tried to watch it, but just couldn't fucking take it anymore. Every single one of these competition shows has the same fucking formula. Ninja Warrior is slightly different in that the winners aren't scripted (well, the actual overall winner probably is, since the last portion is a fucking joke that anyone could do), but everything else still is, people either makeup their sob stories, or they're given to them by the producers, and I just don't get how people enjoy scripted bullshit like this.
