    This should come as no surprise to most of you, but I thought I's share this with you.

    Yep, this a big "whatever" from me. Probably the only decent part of the show, too...

    I don't blame MTV for taking it out, though. It did ruin their image. They may like controversey, but they usually like to start it themselves. Oh, well.

    Later.

    MTV constantly glorifies the controversy it creates, then goes back and censors everything. Maybe the M stands for HYPOCRITICAL.

    Remember a few years back when Marlon Wayans mooned everybody? Well they did the same thing when it reran by censoring it.

    I didn't see the live broadcast. But I heard about the incident the next day. Mtv did the same thing last year when Jamie Foxx poked fun about the alcoholic Backstreet Boy.

    MTV sickens me. IMO, it is one of the most transparent and biased entertainment outlets anywhere.

    That's one of the reasons why I'm glad I have MuchMusic (a Canadian music station) instead of MTV. As I speak, they're replaying the awards show, and they kept that whole part in. But MTV's censoring that doesn't surprise me.

    Totally, couldn't have said it better myself. It's simply exposure and controversy. I hate MTV!

    Well, it certainly doesn't seem to stand for Music anymore. I've always likened it more towards MoneyTV... or maybe they're just reading between the lines... (eMpTyV)
    My origins have been clouded in mystery... some say that I was once a man, known as Hamato Yoshi. Another tale states that I was once merely a humble pet rat of a man named Hamato Yoshi. For the record allow me to state that both are true... and yet, neither is true. Such is the way of Ninjitsu.

    Has anyone noticed that the show didn't look live at all, but rather filmed with A movie camera of sorts? This also explains what some reports have said about the event was filmed A few days before the actuall airdate. The hypocricy never ceases to amaze me.
