I Want My Effin’ MTV (MTV music award show)
Culture and Media Institute ^ | 6-7-10 | Nathan Burchfiel

Music’ network’s movie award show features 100 swears in 122 minutes.

"“Ready to make the censors’ ears bleed?”

That’s how Anna Kendrick summed up MTV’s attitude toward decency June 6 during the network’s annual Movie Awards broadcast.

It wasn’t just the censors who endured a two-hour swear-fest. The television audience had the pleasure of hearing 30 percent of the vulgarities uttered throughout the night. A Culture and Media Institute review found the 122-minute show littered with at least 100 bleep-worthy words – that’s more than one per minute not including commercials.

The network’s censors caught 70 curses. They included 47 variations of “f---,” 11 uses of “s---,” two of “a------,” one slang for breasts, and nine that were unidentifiable. "

Some bad language in the article. Not as bad as the alleged award show, I guess.

I stopped watching MTV in the late 1980’s. Partly it was a result of growing older, but also I got sick of all the stupid reality shows and was missing out on the new music.

I’m old enough to remember when MTV played music and the Comedy Channel was funny.

Same here. Maybe we can play some shuffleboard and have a walker race someday.

I am old enough to remember when there was no cable TV, much less MTV, which I have never seen.
TV is nothing but a cesspool of garbage.
Can you imagine Bob Hope or Lucile Ball
saying any of the garbage that must be on TV today?
I am quite happy not to have it.

That #8 is a great line, but could have been improved by
putting “only” in front of “ watched”

True. B and B’s reaction to the videos was hilarious.

I watched in the early 80s when Martha Quinn, JJ Jackson and Nina Blackwood hosted.

I had a crush on Kennedy. Those glasses, and GOP Elephant tattoo drove me wild.
