Pop Has Eaten Itself

Time of Death: the 2007 MTV VMAs.

This year's "award" show was like watching someone desperately trying to revive half-rotted roadkill. Give it up. MTV is unwatchable. And the "music" it pimps is unlistenable. Both the MTV network and the select group of over-hyped, overexposed, and overrated performers it promotes need to be banned from the airwaves. At the very least, they should be censured for pollution of American culture.

Offense #1 - the Britney mess:


Offense #2 - Kid Rock & Tommy Lee, two dirty hacks in a slap fight:


Offense #3 - the Kanye West temper tantrum:


Offense #4 - Sarah Silverman, the least funny person on earth:


It is clear that the "entertainers" themselves have stopped trying. And if they don't care enough to make the effort, then why should the rest of us give them the time of day? It's over. Everybody pack it up and go home. America doesn't need you anymore.
