Hearing The Hideout

Pot Badmouthing Kettle


A top MTV boss on Wednesday slammed Pop Idol-type TV talent shows for producing a string of manufactured stars who did nothing to salvage the beleaguered music industry.

 "I totally believe they have devalued us, taken us back to light entertainment and voyeurism" he said. "I think people will turn away from it. They are looking for more substance."

The entire article, chock full of brain-hurting irony, is here. I'd comment more, but just thinking about this is giving me a nosebleed.

    Alot seems to be going on at MTV. Heads will roll. Heard today that a Real World girl was raped at the MTV house, and MTV wouldn't let cops search without a warrant. Go to http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/rwsd1.html and read about it. It is talking about the current filming?
