MTV Update Website: It’s Crap

MTV has updated its website. It is so bad, it puts podshow.com to shame.

The ads I could live with, at least they disappear without me interacting with them (at least the ones I saw). But the good thing is – I neither watch MTV nor use their website much

But I guess every generation gets the MTV it deserves…

However, things have changed. Everything is Flash now. You also have to watch commercials. No, I am not kidding. I clicked on Top Stories and had to watch a Subway commercial. I clicked on another link, and there was a 1-800-Contacts commercial. I always liked MTV but I think this has gone a little too far. [...]
