So I have a friend who is a pro wrestler, has been for years. He tells me that MTV is doing a wrestling show and he's agreed to wrestle on it.
Now, I say 'that's fucking gay I hope they are paying you well'
He says 'yeah it's fucking stupid but it's allright money'
I say 'I'll come to the taping of the show, I'll sit in the crowd when and where is it?'
He says 'get this dude, they told us that they don't want any ugly people in the audience they only want attractive people to be sitting in the crowd. You have to send a headshot and go to an audition just to sit in the crowd'


Also, MTV is not the only network that does this. Plenty of them do.

But a pro wrestling show?
A pro wrestling show filled with attractive people is like an indie rock show filled with straight guys, it just don't happen.

In the past year or two I have seen more of those commercials they run making fun of the claim that they don't play music videos than I have music videos. Now, you can have "Music Television" without exclusively playing videos. You can play music-related movies, you can play "Making the Band," etc. But what the fuck is My Sweet Sixteen, Next, Yo Momma, The Real World, Laguna Beach, Road Rules... ?!

I like music videos. Sorry if that makes me "uncool."
Why do you make it so scary to post here.

MTV was cool in like 1982 when I was ten.

All I remember were weird/cool videos by Devo, XTC, Dire Straits, INXS, New Order, Gary Numan, OMD, Men at Work, Police, and more Devo.

It was low budget and spontaneous. During the first year, most of the videos were of new wave or post punk bands. I don't remember it turning to total crap until somewhere between MJ's Thriller and Madonna's first few videos.

Since then, and now it is ten pounds of CRAP in a five pound bag.

when my parents first got cable TV I was 14 I watched MTV late at night and if it wasn't for MTV's 120 Minutes in 1994 I would never ever have heard of: The Jesus Lizard, Shudder To Think, Cranes, Girls Against Boys, and Helmet. (There are more but it would be pointless to list them)

I don't watch TV now mainly because where I live I can't recieve broadcasts, certainly can't afford cable and find it eats into the time I should be writing music or watching movies.

And fuck yeah to the headshots, who wants to see ugly people on TV? I can see that looking out my bedroom window.
My pretty pony! Why, Zorak, why? You could have had any woman you wanted! But you chose the woman I love almost as much as I love myself! You ruined my life, you ruined her life, and now, I'm going to ruin your life!!!
