The story about MTV's plans to ignore music (sticking with one count 'em one new music program) and unveil 16 new reality shows (even The Onion would be a bit more charitable) is repulsive enough. But this quote makes me want to inflict severe pain every time I read it:
“These new series reflect Generation ‘Why Not?’ — living, working and playing on their own terms, ‘adventure capitalists’ if you will, pursuing a variety of thrill-seeking, 2.0, express-yourself enterprises,” says MTV entertainment president Brian Graden.
Yes, that's nine sheets of buzzword bingo filled out in one quote, and double-word score for throwing in "2.0" bereft of context.

It's pretty bad when "MTV played music videos" is right up there with "I walked fifteen miles to school in the snow" on the old-fart marker list.
Someone needs to ask Mr. Graden exactly what the "M" in "MTV" stands for these days.

Nancy Grace, however, is Evil Incarnate. And the mornings are being nibbled away by Specialty Shows too.
