on May 23 2006 06:52 PM [b]I grew up on MTV, now I want to throw up.[/b] MTV sold out long ago. I am suprised Kurt Loder hasnt done himself in yet. It's geared to 13-17 year olds now. Complete trash. (Reply to this) |
 on May 23 2006 08:10 PM The MTV Movie Awards don't pretend to be a real awards show, so knocking their "credibility" is pretty pointless. It's at its best when the winners play along, but lame when they take it seriously and give a real speech. (Reply to this) |

on May 24 2006 08:31 AM These awards were never intended to be taken seriously, kind of like MTV itself, which is marketed towards anyone with ADD. I think the fact that they have the TRL Awards is even more of an abomination. (Reply to this) |
