The simple truth is this: no matter how hard MTV tries to invent stupid new categories, I can think of even stupider ones. All by myself. No focus group needed. Such as:
- Best Song not recorded by a Female Pop Star because she's in Rehab
- Best Old Song that always Sucked Big Time getting a new lease on life by being Covered by a half-way decent Band--and actually sounding kind of OK
- Best Collaboration between one Pop star who is fading, and one who is Dead
- Best Song that may never be released to Video because the Singer shaved all her hair off and can't stop Sucking down Frappuccinos
- Best Song designed to spark Sales of what is obviously just another Greatest Hits collection with 1 new track added
- Best Song by a former Child Star--now completely clapped out and scary
- Best Song by an Artist who has decided to end our suspense and admit to being Gay-- color us Surprised!
- Best Video by Anyone who used to boink Heather Locklear, Helena Christensen, Kate Hudson, or Cher.
- Best Video by a group whose members are now--or could easily be--members of AARP.
- Best Video by a group None of whose members ever did Drugs. Not even prescription.
You mean these aren't now categories?? I'm rather stunned by that.
