Possibly being the key word here. "Vote or Die"? What a load of cock. Does mtv, or any other of the corporate-owned netyworks give you any useful information about the key issues of our day? Do they ever tell you about any other parties besides the pro-capitalist democrats and republicans? When a war happens, do they do anthing but demonize the enemy and glorify the american troops?
Of course, the answers are 'no'. They never tell you anything which might help you make an informed decision. They line up behind the war effort while the us military rains death and destruction on some hapless people (the serbs, the afghans, the iraqis, etc).
Besides its insidious political role, is a promoter of the worst shit imaginable: Brainless female pop stars and talentless male chauvinists.
In pushing this mind-numbing garbage, it is hardly alone. It is owned by viacom, a massive multi-billion dollar firm with big holdings in various sectors of the economy. in terms of its ownership structure, as well as its unstated (but nonetheless obvious and vile) pro-capitalist orientation, it resembles the other major media networks - all purveyors of reactionary views, all devoted to deadening peoples' capacity to think. All worthy of ridicule.
