It's that moment right after the triple mini-marathons of Next, Real World, and My Super Sweet 16 but before the marathons of Why Can't I Be You, Made and Room Raiders.

MTV giving out music video awards is like a group of bald men selling shampoo.

This whole "MTV doesn't show videos" thing is sooooooooooooo overexaggerated.

The network airs videos every morning, then again on TRL, and MTV Jams after that. 6 hours of videos per day is enough.

Wow, a whole six hours...and that means there are abt six minutes of commercials, what? every twenty minutes. Damn! I remember when MTV had music videos almost 24 hours a day...ahhhhhh memories...

Is it me or does it seem like it get's worse and worse every year? :(

It's really a pain to vote with all that flash garbage on the MTV site. Why not just a straight simple ballot?
