Teens Sue MTV Over Defecation Incident. In addition to a cosmically beautiful headline, this should give everybody plenty of opportunities to gripe about pandering to the lowest common denominator in entertainment, why television is going to hell, etc. Boy, MTV is receiving quite the drubbing these days, eh?

What does one expect at a taping of "Dude, This Sucks?"

Well, all I have to say is that that type of directional and propulsive sphincter control is admirable. Must take a lot of practice...

It's a rock concert in San Bernadino! What the hell did they expect? Class?

I can only hope this means the home audience will be able to sue MTV over the shit they get spattered with every time they tune in.

I remember when MTV actually ment MUSIC television, not Rap and R&B station.. Even MTV2 is becoming all rap and r&b.. Then of course, do we have to mention the crappy shows they have on there?

There must be some kind of MTV equivalent of Godwin's Law involving the phrase "I remember when MTV actually meant MUSIC television" and the dissing of rap. I've been hearing that since they fired J.J. Jackson [<--colloquial, MTV-centric way of saying "a long time"].

Godwin's lawyers might say that Godwin's Meta-Law is, "There must be some kind of [x] equivalent of Godwin's Law," because that's usually enough to smother a hoary thread.

Ouch.

I have no doubt that Godwin's lawyers would say something like that, because I know Mike, and he's his own lawyer (or meta-lawyer), and he would never be able to resist, only it would take a lot longer to say and have clever little footnotes.
