MERGED-->Making the Video??+WTF?????

[nurse chrissi]

dear u2 fans - yes, we realize that because you watched vids in the 80s and 90s we are where we are now - so as a special favor to you we have decided to screw you over - bad. It appears that these crazy kids like to see high-school high jinks over quality music TV - who knew?
We need to give kids these days some quality ideas for their senior prank-it's become our new misson
hugs and kisses

[madamadam]

will this torture ever end? *cries*

tourture- pure and simple tourture. So not cool.
for some reason i am not really excited about some high school kid who decides to change his school's name to "anal"

I don't think I would be as irritated right now if it hadn't been THIS dreck coming on instead. Only "Viva La Bam" would have ticked me off more.

 

[arw]

I wonder if MTV knows how many U2 fans are awake this late on a work (school) night.

 

[-macphisto-]

That prank sucked, man we need to teach them the way

Well.....Bono supports education of safe sex too. Maybe that's the connection MTV wants us to make? And Adam did act up in high school.

LOL

 

[luvsU2]

wtf? Are they ever going to show making the video?? I am quite pissed at MTV right now and I am glad i am not the only one.

 

[Ashley]

EWWW. Viva la Bam is on AGAIN?!?

This sucks. I'm going to bed.

 

[Edgette]

Is there anyway we can e-mail MTV about this?

 

[starsgoblue]

Maybe it's the listings fault somehow and not MTV's?

 

[arw]

"Viva La Bam"

Well guess what's on right now

 

[neutral]

and now here's Viva La Crap

 

[arw]

It's MTV's fault. How could everyone's TV guides and whatever other sources they are looking at be wrong? It's not the first time this has happened with MTV.

 

[starsgoblue]

I did think it was odd to have a first showing of this at midnight though....I dunno....

 

[nurse chrissi]

watching this show - I think we are severely underestimating the dumbing down of america/how seriously dumb several people are

quite frightening......

 

[Queen Bee]

 

[Edgette]

I switched the channel until midnight.

I'd rather watch a rerun of MASH that I've seen 100 times than that crap.

 

[nurse chrissi]

and yet I'm oddly fascinated - slightly like driving by a fender-bender - nothing to see but you look anyway.......

Good point, it would have probably been during prime time and we would have seen 800 commercials today.

 

[Queen Bee]

My sister just told me that on the last Making the Video she watched (I'm pretty sure it was for Gwen Stefani's new video) at the end of the show the next episode that they promoted was for a new Xhibit video.

true - they had commercials today for the premire of the video. You can bet a half hour u2 piece should merit some hype.

 

[madonna's child]

MTV blows.

 

[btdavis]

If you want to give 'em s**t for keeping you up late and switching the program without warning, go here:

Be careful when you put in your birthdate... if you are too old (read: not in their target demographic), they will ignore your email. I mean... why else would they ask for your birthdate in an email?? Gotta love MTV. Ashlee Simpson rocks. (I know, that was SNL, but it's all the same)

 

[Quiggs]

Look at the Rock on TV site...

They don't even have the show listed anymore.

WTF?

It is SUPPOSE to be on twice today and I am taping them. If it is not and my satilite is wrong I am climbing the roof and throwing the receiver off!




It also said it would be on Saturday too!

 

[mistyrose]

It was also supposed to air on MTV2 today at 10 AM and 5 PM and neither time showed U2.

Anyone got a really tall ladder I need to climb a roof?! (A firetruck ladder would be best!)
