navel gazing... omphaloskepsis.
and yes, I slept at a Days Inn last night.
The media blitz MTV has created around the VMAs is really remarkable, considering I have a black-and-white television with no cable, yet have heard about this thing no less than once a day for the past week.
Well done to MTV for reaching people well out of its demographic via print and bus-stop ads, Big Brother tie-ins, reputed celebrity stunt marriages and NYC nightlife promotions.
I haven't thought about the VMAs since my teen years, so have they always promoted them this rabidly or am I on to something?
I think the VMAs get bigger and bigger, as sort of a "You don't want to miss what will happen this year," with their version of watershed moments being Madonna at the first VMAs, Michael Jackson & Lisa Marie, Britney's striptease... I will be tuning in for Chris Rock's hilarity myself. And Coldplay.
This should be the M2 VMAs. Last I checked M2 was the station that actually shows videos.
Chris rock is funny. But I don't have cable. Will they be airing it in taxicabs?
Glenn, re: your comment, you can be sure that some variation on that theme will be a Chris Rock joke.
