Precisely. MTV would like to think that they have a compelling political impact upon their clientele, but at the end of the day, the kids just wanna skate and see Briney Spears' and Justin Timberlake's nubile bimboness. It's admirable that MTV would *like* to see kids vote. Heck, I'd like to see every kid win a Nobel Prize for inventing a cure for every disease known to man. And even attend class without ditching once or twice every other month. If they learned enough math to actually count change for a burger at McDonald's, all the moreso better! But that isn't happening within our lifetime and MTV should divorce itself from the notion that it makes any kind of political difference. Shouldn't even even make the papers as an "avenue of political awareness". At least until they figure out the "counting back change" part for a burger.
