Xbox 360 MTV thing

So how about that Xbox 360? I am assuming that everyone watched the MTV show last night and I am also assuming that we all agree it was garbage. The important thing to understand here is that, much like Twisp and Catsby that show was not for us. When I say us I am referring to the hardcore. The sorts of people who perhaps downloaded a torrent of last nights MTV show. The sorts of people who had to call their cable company to find out what channel MTV was on. The sorts of people who had their Tivo or media PC grab the show for them so that they could watch it at their leisure. Last nights unveiling of the Xbox 360 was not for us it was for the people who were already watching MTV. It's true, there are human beings out there who watch MTV in the same way your mom might watch ABC. Sitting through show after show and watching as rides are pimped and celebrities are punked. Last nights show was for them and when you look at it that way I have to say I think the show was a success. I cannot imagine those sorts of people not being entertained for the entire 30 minutes by the flashing lights and famous people. Gaming is cool now. Isn't that awesome.


So MTV sucks.

Well I guess I don't disagree, hm. O________O
So, by "hardcore," he means people that use expensive and complicated equipment to watch TV because using a goddamn remote control isn't leisurely enough. Also people who feel compelled to CALL the cable company to find out what channel Mtv's on.

Gabe: Hello, cable company? I pay you guys $40 a month for your service but I never watch it because I'm too HARDCORE. But I've heard rumors of a program showcasing a video game system on a channel called M... T... V, I believe. You know, the one where rides are pimped and celebrities are punked and I never watch it because I'm too busy making astute life observations on my video game website. Now I know I could just check the channel guide or even just flip through the channels until I find it but, I mean, COME ON that's what my MOM does, what is this, the 20th century? So could you be a good chap and look up what channel Mtv is for me so I can program my multimedia equipment to display it to me in a less taxing manner?

Syed in India: I want to hang you by your own fat american intestines. It's channel 37.

Also, X-Box 360 is a really stupid name. Someone got paid a very decent salary to come up with that name.
