I had no idea either. It's not like anyone watches that shit.
Agreed. I haven't seen MTV since I got my first real job, around 1985.
And it was already a propaganda channel. Around election time, they'd be pushing "Rock the Vote," which somehow always meant "Vote straight Democrat."
One of MTV's stupid dating shows actually had "Never Date Republican" as their theme for that show.
I was 11 and I could see straight through it, which says how lame it was.
