Surreality Tv: Season 2

I want my MTV!! ....used to be the refrain in my younger days Rebelling felt great, we stayed up late VJ's were the essence of cool But now no V's to J...only so many commercials-obscene shows pick up steam-capped off with reruns of "My SuperSweet 16" keeping kids based in reality...right When did the rebel become the pitchman? substance fell through the floor they break necks to homogenize, androgenize easier to sell to one soulless, brainwashed mass video killed the radio star? Advertisement killed the artist!! In other "news".... someone just stuck a camera in Brad Pitt's face!! Here he comes out of his house now, shielding childs face He looks annoyed swatting off flashbulb mosquitos late for his kids doctor exam ...dismissive prick...ClickClick Brad!Brad! ClickClick If I were a star, there would no doubt be a paparazzi genocide on my front lawn
