MTV no good for health
We're in an era where the MTV generation of people judges things based on visuals first
Finally I get to watched Fergie's video for her single "London Bridge" (Sorry la but my house don't subscribe to MTV and Channel V). For those who haven't, you can watch it here. I know was flabbergasted after watching it. Pay extra attention towards the ending of this video:
A quick trivia question:
Name me one of London's most iconic and recognised structure that was featured in this video clip?
Answer:
London Bridge??????
Or so it might seem. If what you're thinking is exactly as of the above, then I'll say what them cockneys would say to you:
Lawd above! you fuckin' buckit. , innit
You know why? Many, particularly in the United States, confuse the Tower Bridge with London Bridge. The video for her single "London Bridge", Fergie wrongly refers to Tower Bridge as London Bridge!
On a different note, I don't watch MTV that much. I don't see anything of interest on it, all I see are non-sensible shows and MTV talking about how cool MTV is. No doubt it has grown to be a major component in the music industry and it has change from video based programming in the past to the television series focused on today. I just feel that MTV has revolutionized and affected the whole world through its negative influence on society and culture. MTV has in many ways corrupted our culture with videos like the above that feeds wrong knowledge to audience like for example, projecting Tower Bridge AS London Bridge! Not forgetting shows such as Jackass, with their dangerous acts of stupid ness. I mean kids now a day are mimicking these shows and getting hurt or even killed!
Not only is violence a major issue, but sexual content and foul language is a huge part of MTV’s line up with shows constantly displaying sexual content and profanity on a regular basis. They not only make it seem like violence, sex and profanity are a norm in our society, they also make it as though it is the cool thing to do!
MTV has completely eroded our patience, our attention span, our communication abilities, and, most of all our intelligence and sanity. MTV is a mockery of our generation. Many people might beg to differ but that's just my 2cents anyway.
Back to the subject. If you don't know how London Bridge really looks like, look below:
Well there's nothing really to be ashamed of if you were thinking exactly what those idiots from MTV were. If this makes you feel any better, on 18 April 1968, London Bridge was sold to the American entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch of McCulloch Oil for US$2,460,000. He bought it with the intentions of disassembling the bridge to be shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona where it'll then be reconstructed. But here is the thing
He mistakenly believed that he was buying the more impressive Tower Bridge!
