Do you watch MTV? Probably not. No one really does. So how is it that a network with almost no viewers manages to not only stay on the air but produce “White People,” a white-shaming movie directed by a racist illegal alien named Jose Antonio Vargas?
Answer (and I say this with affection): morons like you and I.
Is MTV part of your cable package? If it is, you are funding MTV, and doing so directly with money coming right out of your pocket. And that money is going to fund white-shaming films directed by racist, cultural supremacists like Jose Antonio Vargas.
Like dozens of cable channels — CNN and MSNBC are also good examples — viewership has almost nothing to do with the network’s revenue.
The reason your cable bill is so obnoxiously high is because too many of us are dumb enough to pay for cable (and satellite). Yes, you are literally paying for dozens of channels you never watch, and almost as many of those channels pump toxic cultural bilge directly into your home 24/7.
These hidden fees are called carriage fees. You pay them (yes you do!), and numerous left-wing multinational media corporations make billions off of this scam.
Got rid of the “bundle” last year. Can I say Cox cable sucks? If not,
then I won’t. Powerful HDTV antenna picks up 58 channels for free.
I hate Cox!!!
…Wait…
No seriously. Cox sux. Horrible service.
We ended up getting Direct TV and I probably watch 4 channels. lol.
I remember the first week MTV started. Watched it for 2 hours, never watched it since. I guess they have 6 or 7 channels now?
Why? From what I understand, they rarely play videos anymore anyway.
I’m still waiting for the a la cart cable channels some congressman was running off at the mouth about. I guess that’ll happen right after we get a la cart healthcare, huh?
Hi there BFH, I learned the secret of happy living a long time ago. When I was laid off back in 2006, I was paying over a hundred dollars for cable and a cable internet connection from Comcast. Well when I relinquished my cable connection ( got rid of my cable internet connection when I moved out of Massachusetts ) I found that I had more money.
I also discovered that I had less stress in my life. I was not watching the evening news, CNN or worst of all, PBS. I also knew that I was not supporting programs that support the leftist cause. I felt great.
Now as for MTV, I never could stand that so-called channel! I knew what they were up to when “Rock the Vote” and their so-called news reports came on. Oh and the Klinton presidency was enacted because of them.
Now when are we going to see “Section 8 housing cribs” on MTV? I mean they would not only depict white people in the worst way possible without showing the shortcomings of others would they? I mean that is a disparate impact and it is not permitted by law.
I wonder why MTV would create a show like that? I mean isn’t that the reason why we have PBS, NPR and your local public television station? They exist to browbeat us into submission to serve the better people in society. Why can we not have some good looking women lip-syncing some crappy music just as long as we can watch their cleavage in action? Huh, I though the sexual revolution was for my enjoyment? Was I wronged?
Oh and as for Mr. Vargas ( spit! ) He has the face of a mammal that should not mate under any circumstances! Let his species die out and become extinct! Just like the Bobo of old.
As for Sr. Vargas, he has the fac
This guy lives every day thinking about his race and how he can parlay it into profit by making other people ashamed of their race.
Isn’t that what racists do?
RACIST:
noun:
1. A person who believes in racism, the doctrine that one’s own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
About fifteen years ago, when my cable TV bill went from $35 to $45, I called them to cancel.
“But, we just added FIVE NEW Channels!”, the woman on the phone defended the increase.
“Yes, you did. Three Spanish channels, and two women’s channels. I’m not going to watch the, why should I pay for them?”
“It’s all part of the ‘Bundle’…”, she explained.
“Can you bundle for me the six channels I actually watch, and I’ll keep paying $35 for them?”, I asked.
“I’m sorry, we can’t do that.”, she replied.
“Neither can I. Cancel it today.” Since then, the only thing I pay cable for is internet access, which is still a better value than any of their competitors.
I saw the crap MTV and others were
showing 20 years ago when my
daughter was a young child.
Did not want that foulness in my
home. Got rid of cable and never
missed it. I see that I’m still right.
MacArthur should have stayed home.
I’m happy to say that for the almost 25 years my husband and I have been married, we have never had TV. No cable, no local channels, nothing. We couldn’t afford it as newlyweds and never missed it. My kids have grown up without TV in the house their whole lives and it never mattered. I like to think that’s why they stand out to their teachers as sweet, loving, respectful, creative kids.
My hubby and I just listened to talk radio all those years (before the Internet) and learned more about the world from Rush, Dennis Prayer, Dr. Laura, etc. than we ever would have learned watching MTV like our peers.
I refuse to pay for cable because of the ridiculous cost for 40,000 channels I’ll never have time to watch. I do have **a** TV for movies but don’t even bother trying to get local programming, I couldn’t care less. My now 12 year old growing up without TV (imagine my delight when at age seven he asked me what a commercial is) has been a blessing for many reasons. One of them is that I can go down the cereal aisle without him begging me for chocolate puffs (chocolate and cereal: two things never meant to be together). He’s a kid, so he does ask for stuff, but accepts “no” a lot more gracefully than kids programmed by TV to believe they have to have everything. He is, by the way, ready to edit his second book and reads like a fiend. Another blessing. For the naysayers, sure it takes a little more effort but it’s not as hard as some might think, and well worth the it.
For the record, I’m not a TV snob…I love Jack McCoy and Bobby Goren. 😀
MTV sucks, it’s meathead television, always has been and always will be. And the cyberspace black hole for my comments is still there so I’ll keep it short and to the point. Parents don’t let your kids grow up to be idiots. Kill the damned worthless cable TV.
Killed cable going on almost 3 years ago. Don’t miss it. It got to the point where I was only watching 3 or 4 channels of the 150 or more that were available. We now have Roku, pick what we want and the 7 yr old is fine with it.
I like the prior comment about the cereal isle. No whining for us going down that isle.
Good for you!
No TV for me since 1993-I’ve just got too much going-the hour+/day I spend on the interwebs is plenty.
But right now is the rare 3 hour exception, the Gentlemens Wimbledon Finals…gotta get
I have a TV antenna and Comcast monopoly cable internet. Rarely watch anything on TV besides the oldies but goodies on MeTV, where Lynda Carter is still beautiful, and hurricane advisories.
Never had cable in my entire life. Short of the TV I got on my 13th bday, didn’t have another TV until 2000.. I too get nearly 60 channels over the antenna and tend to watch just the ones that have the vintage TV shows that i remember as a kid and old movies when Hollywood had real actors with real talent.
Heck I just got high speed internet this past april–dial up was good enough for me.
But if I don’t have cable how do I watch Teletubbies?
Don’t Teletubbies subliminally make you gay?
I have a tv. I use it for a monitor. It’s not hooked to anything but my computer. If I want to stare at shit for an hour, I can google an image and not pay the stupid cable bill, or satellite, or any of it.
MJA what has Cox ever done to you. 🙂
Logic is a white thang, you raaaacist!
😉
Any TV I “have” to watch I can usually find online.
There’s a good reason they call it Empty V…
I have DirecTV so I can watch every game on Sunday Ticket. The Progs have taken enough, I will not give up Football.
It’s time to get Congress to pass a bill allowing “cafeteria cable TV” where you pay for only the channels you choose.
I should clarify, we also have **a** TV we watch videos on. But no TV in the sense of paying leftists to brainwash my family. 🙂
But if they did that no one would willingly watch anything the lamestream media puts out and they can’t have that. It’s gonna continue to be bread and circuses for the proles to keep em mollified and docile and easy to control. While those of us who actually have a brain and can think for ourselves are portrayed as the bad guys because we won’t let the ignoids have any fun. I feel like I’m John the barbarian (or whatever his name was) in Brave New World who preferred real life straight up over the fantasy created by the state thru drugs and sex etc. Brave New World is far more scarier and prophetic than 1984 by George Orwell.
For those advocating payment for only channels you choose, are you also advocating gov’t regulation and pricing? Because that will be the consequence.
If a cable company charges $150 a month and they are forced into per channel pricing, they will just determine (by polling, focus groups, web voting, etc.) how many channels the average family watches (say 10). That will be divided into the current $150 a month cost and you have $15 per channel. That may get tweaked a bit as real numbers become available.
The only way to avoid that is to have the gov’t regulate the price per channel. Yes, some cable or satellite company may charge $13.50 or $11.50 for each channel in the hopes of undercutting the competition. However, the only way that cost is going to reflect it’s true value (maybe $1) is if the gov’t regulates that cost.
Are you prepared for the Secretary of Entertainment?
Is the Secretary of Entertainment anything like the Handicapper General in Harrison Bergeron?
The feds here finally got off their butts and legislated “cafeteria” type cable subscriptions. You only get and pay for what you want to watch. The cable companies (Rogers, Bell and Shaw mostly) have until the end of this year to introduce their plans and pricing to the customers. Until then you’re pretty well forced to buy a bundle that could have 8 channels, each bearing no relation to the others and only one that you want. Frankly, when the channels were given out it was just a license to print money for the insiders as they got a cut of the cable fees whether anyone watched it or not.
I grew up without tv or going to the movies. So I don’t know what MTV is. Maybe the people in charge are black. At MTV I mean.

Get Serious! Really want to play this game?
I can top all of ya!
Don’t own a TV.
Have NEVER owned a TV in my adult life.
Grew up without TV.
First person to convince me I’m missing something wins 100 IOTW bucks.
This is similar to the argument to not buy a specific product because it’s run by a bunch of libtards. Don’t by this brand of bottled water because they were the sponsors of the homosexual parade. But still buy a specific brand of soft drink because you like it, even though that soft drink corporation owns that brand of bottled water.
You can’t win. So many things are interconnected that to claim your non-purchase of bottled water A is making an impact but your ongoing buying of other products from the same parent company has no effect is ludicrous.
I live in CA so practically everything I buy is ‘tard friendly. Can’t be helped.
Progressive Insurance is full on commie!
Can’t stand Flo (she reminds me of Fran Drescher on steroids) and Geico (Govt. employee insurance co.) is not much better/
Great points, all.
I say beat the Left at their own game. They try to silence talk radio by citing “the public airwaves” blah-blah-blah.
Everything now is a RIGHT. Healthcare, Internet, education, contraception, telephone service, airline transportation… We say that basic cable is now a RIGHT. And like the airlines charging for ancillary things, subject cable companies to the same scrutiny, disclosures, etc. Treat cable “bundling” just like every other “predatory capitalistic excess” and break it up. Make each cable “network” market itself autonomously, such as CNN, Discovery, etc.
(They don’t know their house from a hole in the ground.)
I quit watching TV/movies many years ago. They don’t call it PROGRAMMING for nothing. If ya see any media these days that still supports individual values, please do tell.
If all you critics never watched Honey Bo Bo, The View, CNN, or MSNBC, you must be really dull people. Hee, hee.
Early on, I wasted hundreds of dollars on satellite t.v. every year.
Then around the time 0bama first appeared on t.v., I made one of these antennas for $8.oo and haven’t paid for t.v. since:

I get about 19 channels as clear as can be. For Free.
The money I save now is a blessing.
Very easy to make and it will give you a feeling of accomplishment when you dump the overpriced propaganda peddlers. And you’ll have some extra spending or saving money that would have otherwise been thrown away on nothing but an electronic signal.
