Am I getting the right station?

If you have multiple personalties and think about suicide is it a hostage situation???
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 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...

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.

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!

MTV2 = mostly cool
VH1 = boring, anoying, preppy
MTV2 late friday night = AWESOME
MTV2 late friday airs AMP where they only play techno for like 2 hours straight, it's not mainstream techno, it's the better stuff. I love it :-)

MTV2 is pretty good but in Britain you get dicks that choose some of the music sometimes. My favourite is usually Kiss TV where 'You choose the choons!' or whatever, sometimes, every once in a while, when they've managed to get the right idea, they put No Good by Prodigy on the listing. Within ten minutes of its number going up on screen, it's played. I once saw it 5 times in the same day on the same channel. That song is the fucking uber-greatest.
And what the fuck is up with MTV Base? 'Dedicated to R&B and Hip-hop'? Bullshit! R&fuckingB? Why can't they just have a hip-hop channel, I wouldn't mind having to sit through Jah Rule and Eminem and other crappy acts is I got some pure unadulterated Wu-Tang or Ultramagnetic MCs at the end of it.
cheers
First of all, this is not Britain. We can't just turn it to a government broadcasting channel and see some hardcore. It costs on the order of 15-20 bucks a month to get a softcore movie channel that only does anything pr0n between 11:30 PM and 2AM.
Spice and Playboy are the best options, but they are ungodly expensive. Plus, it's not even real hardcore. No shlongs (not that I'm into that, but it's distracting when the camera has to work around that stuff).
Also, they do have a Hip-Hop channel: BET. However, IIRC, I don't get that here. My bro watches it constantly, and it has supplanted his MTV watching. I'll have to check tonight... maybe we do get it, and I didn't notice.

haha dude, i hate those people. in fact, i hate most people! 
actually being a pothead isnt bad... watching mtv is borderline, but wearing A&F or AE? ::vomit::
im glad i still have some sense of individuality.

And Playboy hasn't gone hardcore yet, but the old Spice (can't remember what it is now) shows schlong and the yogurt slinging (the funniest part).

I certainly haven't seen anyone else, but then maybe they're hiding to avoid giving the Americans and Canadians a reason to band together...
Oh Wait... That's England's job, Isn't it?

Mr Writer got to 5 in Britain, it's a bit boring, some of Stereophonics' other stuff is faster and more upbeat though like the Bartender and the Thief.
BTW 5 was pretty good for the time because there was this shitty Atomic Kitten song that was at 1 for weeks cos stupid women bought it, that crappy Shaggy song, a charity record by bloody Westlife and Hear'Say's debut release were all ahead. (Hear'Say are a band produced on a show called Popstars to huge ratings, kind of like that Making the Band thing you've got in the states but Popstars was much better, especially at the start because it showed all the auditions across the country. You saw all these wannabe losers who were clearly shit, being shit in front of the cameras and then the judge would just complete humiliate them for our entertainment. It was fantastic.)
askheaves, I wish we did have a Government subsidised porn channel over here. That'd be amazing but we've only recently legalised hardcore. I guess you're in the unfortunate position of not being able to pick up good, hard, European porn. My mate's dad is a bit pervy and has a sattelite that can be swivelled around to pick up different satellites and he has some computer thing to crack the access codes. The porn he's got is awesome one of my favourites is The Cockwork Orange.
Cyrino, it's been so long since I've heard a euphamism as good as yoghurt slinging, I'm gonna have to pass that off as my own creation sometime.
If the moneyshot is your favourite part I recommend you check out The Uranus Experiment 3. Zero-gravity cumshots. 4 real. They sent the 'actors' up in a 'Vomit Comet', which kind of simulates zero-gravity via freefall, and got them to 'perform'.
cheers
