Katchup, you almost made me want to smash my TV to bits! but I cant do that to my sexy HD tv .. the best way to watch Discovery channel is in HD!!! LOL Not to mention great films like Blade Runner, Aliens and so on and so on ..

You know whats funny, I was watching Robo cop the other day... couldnt find anything else on and what a cheesy movie but the whole Robocop series talks about the huge corporate take over of society and the crushing of the lower class..... maybe I was just reading to far into it lmao
The original Robocop was supposed to be somewhat serious in that regard... but it got really lame after the 2nd movie. The movie industry is no different than the greedy corporate powerhouse they presented us with.

There were some brutal scenes in the original, like when Murphy got blasted repeatedly with a shotgun by Clarence. I just rewatched the scene the other day & was kind of taken back by it. Hadnt seen it since i was 12.

Why would you not keep it open. Its the playground and we are all into the discussion.


In any case, it appears there are various age groups chimming in and yeah some of the younger generation cares what Kanye West did.... what can I do about it.. the following ...

I have a 15 year old son
He doesnt have a myspace, facebook, twitter page. Instead I insist he calls and hangs out with his friends in person. I also do the same.

He is not allowed to watch mindless garbage like MTV. He watches history channel, discovery channel and the likes of VH1 with the occasional cartoon. Oh and of course Sci-Fi and anything with substance. I also do the same.


I do not contribute to purchasing or viewing anything MTV'ish
To quote some hip hop from the times when MTV WAS music television ..

"FIGHT THE POWER!" Chuck D, Public Enemy

all i hv to say to this thread is wow. some of u guys are tools. who cares what people are interested in? shit entertainment is entertainment. get over it. Yeah our generation is the mindless tv drones while the old school stuff is all artists tripping on acid; etc. Way better role models right? give me a break.

Like wishiwasanasian said its what your interested in. Regardless the older generation never understands the youngins. which has always been true. just like your parents probably didnt understand wtf u guys were interested in. In OUR generation people like kanye west; etc actually matter. your telling me the current music industry (which btw i hate the rap industry right now, ill agree with anyone about how the rap game was sooo much better from mid 80s- late 90s) doesnt matter?

Some people actually know how to balance their lives. some people r mindless drones. while others can work, go to school, keep up mostly with mainstream society and politics. and not having a myspace, facebook, twitter page and not keeping up with mainstream society makes you more of a outcast. Not saying it cant be done, however, Facebook and all these networking sites are just that! Do you guys understand how much it helps with networking? do you understand how many internships and opportunities that they allow? Don't b jealous that our generation has a very big advantage and that some of us will accomplish alot. While keeping a very respectable gpa

^ i agree and disagreee. but good points.


main pioint is........


people are so concerned with music artist and celebrities, but people have no clue about what is really going on in the world.
like with our politiicans, or who or senators are. or our govenor.



honestly, ask people who is our vice president. i bet you most of these people who are watching mtv religiously have no idea and need to google it.


seriously.

now that is sad.

and for some of us keeping up with the entertainment industry is a career path. Did you guys ever think that wishiwasanasian was in the fashion industry and thats why she was watching it? besides the entertainment value.

shit i wanna get into entertainment law. does that make me a stupid shit for watching mtv? and ive meet kanye and a lot of other artists and most of this shit is PR stunts. Ud b surprised to meet some of these guys.
