now, this is just stupid beyond stupid.
mtv europe has put up a blacklist of videos not to air during the war.
you got it, any video that mentions or shows missiles, war, children getting hurt (as a result of war), etc are now banned for the duration of the war because of its 'sensitive' subject matter.
and - yes - anti-war videos are now off the playlists (i guess michael moore's video for system of a down's boom scared some people, uh? i guess we're not mature enough to think for ourselves yet).
in the spirit of things, i would therefore also ask mtv to stop using the words war, missiles, bombs, etc, for the duration of the present war on iraq because i am a sensitive idiot who will not be able to stand hearing those words on my tv set.
(btw, u2's extremely offensive miss sarajevo is on that list.)
