substance and motives revealed...
sorry shock-jocks but there wont be much to talk about around the water cooler today. despite the best efforts of the week long preshow and the encouragement by dave chappelle, MTV's VMA show that aired last night proceeded just as "planned". or rather not as planned. for some, last night was a chance again to glorify controversy. a chance to expose a boob. a chance for two girls to kiss. but instead musicians performed, awards were handed out, and people danced. i hope this doesn't hurt the ratings.
i think it's sad that probably the majority of the people there could care less about the artistic interpretation of a video or its cinematography. it's become such a who's who's, roll out the red carpet event. it's shallow and gaudy and i'm glad i didn't spend anymore time on it then i did. in the words of the great male-model hansel, "award shows are bogus." however i am glad that a station that influences so many teens encouraged the need to vote. they even made it seem like something fun to do. if only the church pushed political responsibility more.
in closing, thank God for polyphonic spree.
