Well f*ck me gently with a chainsaw… [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
You know the economy has gone boobies up, when even MTV is trimming its product line.
Actually, I have to be honest, this probably has arse-all to do with the credit crunch – but as the US economy went nuclear over the weekend, it seems vaguely plausible.
After 10 years of pimping pumping out inane teenybopper music, MTV’s Total Request Live (TRL), has imploded and will soon be taken off-the-air, for a ‘break’.
Dave Sirulnick, the shows executive producer, answered worried fans by stating that the show is not ending entirely:
“We want to close this era of `TRL’ in a big celebratory way, and 10 is a great number,” Sirulnick said. “And 10 is the number that `TRL’ counted down every single day for 10 years, and we hit this 10th (anniversary) and we thought, `You know what? This feels like the right time and let’s celebrate it and let’s reward it. And let’s let it have a little bit of a rest for a minute.’ Let it catch its breath! Been working hard — for 10 years!”
Um… yup.. cos’ yanking a popular, decade-old show off the air, for a ‘break’ is standard procedure in this money-hungry day and age?
Chuh!
Like the ‘break’ me and my ex boyf. are on at the moment.
After 10 years together, we are now on a ‘break’ too.
We are kind of still together – I let myself into his flat and feed his kitty. But then at the same time, we are kind of on a break – cos, when I am watching him through my night-vision goggles, I can see him having ‘sexi times’ with another woman.
That’s the same thing in principle… right?*
