Something's Missing…

Filed under: MTV

If you skipped school or work today to watch re-runs of The Jersey Shore, you might have noticed something a little different.

Peel your eyes away from Snooki's antics for a second and you'll notice that the MTV logo has changed. Not drastically in the aesthetic sense, but something very important has been removed.

Almost 30 years ago, when MTV first started broadcasting, the tag line "music television" ran across the bottom of the MTV logo. Now, it doesn't.

It's a little change making a huge statement!

The network has finally realized what most of us have noticed for years: MTV has nothing to do with music. Now, its a place for guilty-pleasure reality shows and outlandish award shows.

So the change has been made. Duly noted.

Now, return to watching The Situation refer to himself in the third person.

      I find it funny that you point that out, seeing how you always refer to yourself in the third person and its just as if not more lame.

      Re: blahblah12 – I was unaware that i suck at spelling lol but anyways MTV you suck! people care soo much to watch other peoples lives on camera rather than listen to music? Maybe todays music is as awful as people say it is (including me) but still its MTV wtf? *music* television watching snooki have sex in the hot tub is not music.They actually have music videos like around 4 in the morning but who the fuck would care to watch music videos in 4 in the morning?. Is Teen Mom and all those stupid shows really that good? couldnt they just move those shows over to VH1 or some shit? The Moonman does not mean shit anymore.

      VH1 (Video Hits One) should change their name completely. They no longer have anything to do with video hits.

      So what does "MTV: stand for now?



    13. 13

      MTV hasn't been about music in over a decade. MTV still technically(sp?) plays music videos, they just air them at 4 in the morning when most people are sleeping so they can keep the title of MUSIC television based on that. Here's a thought though, maybe if people stopped watching all that damn REALITY bs MTV plays maybe they would get the hint and play music again. Sadly that won't ever happen, but it's a nice thought I suppose…
      And Perez, where do you get the balls to call someone else out for talking about themselves in the 3rd person when you do that shit all the time?



    15. 15

      Are you people idiots? MTV stands for Music Television. And having it written under the logo is just redundant. Also, it hasn't been there for over 10 years. Way to just notice this Perez…



    16. 16

      MTV hasn't been about music since 199



    17. 17

      MTV sucks now. Bring back music videos you corporate idiots!



    18. 18

      To be fair, most of what's popular today isn't really music.



    19. 19

      haha cmon perez they changed that long time ago



    20. 20

      So what does MTV even stand for then?? and yeah it's had NOTHING to do with music in ages. i think mtv sucks really. FUSE all the way.
