Good now maybe SPIKE will start to improve.

Im watching MTV30 on VH1 Classic. That is what MTV used to be. Maybe the new bosses will understand that, and not kill MTV like every other boss was doing. Hey, Im the first one to say, I didnt watch MTV until later on in life but still you dont have to kill the channel like it has been doing for yrs. 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom and especially Jersey Shore. Give me Remote Control anyday!!!

Ummm, seriously? That group is the biggest joke around.

They seem to pick and choose as to what shows to go after.

It's absolutely ridiculous that MTV proper isn't even bothering to acknowledge their 30th anniversary (I guess their Jersey Shore marathon is too important to interrupt). It just goes to show how much MTV has gone through a case of "network decay" in the past five to ten years.

Please explain. They are trying to bring positive change to the entertainment industry! What's wrong with that?

Ever try to contact their Region representitives in order to join their "Grassroots" Organizations? E-Mails go unanswered, Phone Numbers direct you to "Phone Mail" (Which is NEVER Responded to) or are non-existant numbers. One of the Florida Numbers was for a fellow who was no longer a member! However, they always solicit you for donations! I'd support them, but they are so out-of-reach!

What positive change? They target a show like The Playboy Club, yet they haven't even seen it! Do they actually even know what its about? Waitresses at Hooters wear more provocative clothing than that of the actresses on The Playboy Club. The show is on at 10pm for a reason, kids should be asleep at that hour anyways. If your a parent and you don't want your kid to watch the series, then change the channel. Don't tell me what I can and can not watch (yes, censorship sucks).

The group is a complete joke and has yet to accomplish one goal, except be the number one group to complain to the FCC.

Well, Michelle Obama (the First Lady) successfully petitioned McDonald's to replace some of the French fries with apple slices in their Happy Meals to combat childhood obesity! (Why can't she do the same to the networks?)
