OK, what the hell is up? It's about 10PM MST, and MTV is playing music videos. Not only that, but it's actually scheduled...

9PM-11PM : Music Videos.

Am I getting the right station?

Naw. This is basic digital cable (Comcast) and it's definitely intentional.

The scary part... they're playing really good music! It's a mix of new rock and some good rap (preemptively twarting oxymoron insult). No boy bands, no TRL, no Carson Daly, no Road Rulez, no Tom Green, nothing! Just good music. It's like, I've been captivated for an hour now.

I view this as a sign of the apocolypse.

I think it's more the case that their target audience is now in bed, so they use the videos as filler until the kiddies wake up.

what's really scary is when you stay up late and stumble upon vh1's insomniac music theater (or whatever it's called) and then all of a sudden, barely separated by a commercial break, it turns into vh1's cardio video and you realize it's pretty much daylight and normal people are just waking up but you have been watching videos for hours on end. as far as i can tell, the only plus side of that is that by the time you come out of the video coma, mcdonalds is already open and you can get the ever elusive breakfast foods that no one in their right mind has time for during the week and is always over before you wake up on the weekends.

Okay, this is probably a way overposted topic, but McDonald's? *eeecchh* !

I can never figure out which part to eat and which part to throw away, but I think I've managed to eat the burger more times than the box at the moment.

The same goes for just about everything they produce, except their chips... Those are *good* down this end of the world...

as much as i abhor burger king, i have to give them credit for their fries. that's the only thing they can beat mcdonalds at as far as i'm concerned. but the best things about mcdonalds are by far those hash browns. i love them. i wish they served them all day. but then that would be bad cause that would be all i would eat. anyway, their shamrock shakes are good too, but they're gone now. and they had coffee shakes for a while too and those were really good. but there really isn't much i'll eat there besides fries and plain cheeseburgers.

Wow, fire... you're weird.

Damnit. Now I have a craving for Bacon Egg and Cheese Bisquits. Oh, well. Now I'm gonna weigh 350lb.

I was releived that last night, after the videos, they started a special on the making of 'Freddie Got Fingered' (Tom Green's theatrical opus). I wish we had MTV2 here.

Oddly enough, MTV2 isn't in the Extended Basic cable package here, but it is broadcast over the airwaves. At least one of the 10 broadcast channels has some content.

I stopped watching MTV and all divisions of it long ago (VH1, MTV2, and some other one...). I've been hoping to get the Box channel down here for a while, but the cable company just won't.

I have a lot of friends that watch MTV. I can't help but no notice that most of them are pothead Abercrombie & Eagle (or whatever) idiots... The ones that only watch MTV every so often will wear a AE shirt once in a while and smoke weed only a little... coincidence? I THINK NOT!
