Finally, The Official Off-Topic Thread

Oh, okay. I'm just listening to music and watching the news.

Okay then, hope you're enjoying it.

Yep, but I noticed something trashy while I was looking at the TV Guide...

🤨 What would it be if you don't mind telling me?

The fact that it's something trashy should already give you the idea that it's something related to MTV.

*shudders* They have a new reality show that's about pregnant girls who are only 16 years old. I think the name of the show is called "Sixteen and Pregnant", and I refuse to watch a second of it.

I've seen commercials for that and I agree with you there. I don't know why poeple would watch that.

Well, it confirms the fact that MTV are just desperate for ratings and will do whatever it takes to entertain people, regardless of how trashy the shows are.

Well, I'm sure everyone knew that for the past couple of years since the channel isn't living up to its name anymore.

It hasn't been since what, 1991? Or did the decline begin around 1999?

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the decline started in the early 1990s.

It's full of reality shows, and barely any music videos. It should be called RTV, which would stand for Reality Television.

They really should change it to that name shouldn't they? But then they'd probably just lose more money having to change all their labels and contracts and stuff...

I'm sure they have enough money since they've been dishing out crappy shows for the past few years, and they still have money to dish out more shows.

I guess so...besides they do own other channels too.

That's true, and I'm sure that MTV has a huge fanbase since there are always people who're willing to appear on a show by MTV.

Unfortunately...

Well, I would never want to be on a show by MTV. It's pretty obvious that they don't really care about the people in their shows since they just want to make money off of their misfortune.

That's true, I don't think that's a good or honorable way to make money. Using the pain of others to progress yourself...

Unfortunately, stuff like that happens all the time in our society. The perfect examples are drug companies. They don't care that their products are slowly killing a large percentage of our population, they just want their products to sell.

Drug dealers are the same way. They're just selling death to people.

Such foolishness...how is it that greed can drive people to do such things? It's just sickening. How does money convince you to sacrifice the lives of countless others?

Well, that's one of the negative influences that money can have on people.

"Money is the root of all evil", and that statement is true. Almost every crime or illegal activity has something to do with money.

If someone just wiped out money there wouldn't be this problem. Then just wipe out whatever it is that those criminals fight for. Without a goal or anything to gain there won't be any crimes...or at least decreased.
