Like the History Channel, MTV is lying about itself. Despite their respective names, programming is anything but historical or musical. For example, Teen Mom and Snooki and JWoww are reality-ish shows, and they’re light-years away from MTV’s traditional business model built around a 24-hour music format. Today, music videos are…

We keep joking that we’re bringing acid rock back to the masses.”…

Punx are sloppy. They’ll spill beer all over the fucking carpet. Crumble corn chips in your hair. Piss on the toilet seat. Gob in your face. Puke in the dishwasher. Dye your dog pink. And bleed in the bathtub. But curiously, they also demonstrate an awesome amount of pride in…
Diabetes, a literal hole in the heart, and severe brain hemorrhaging would almost certainly kill the common man.
