THIS is from MTV???

The videos linked to below very well could be what “the unintended consequences of not electing Ron Paul” will look like (as they were titled on YouTube) in the not too distant future. With the emerging police state and the erosion of the Constitution through the Patriot Act, Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, etc the message in these ads is spot on and needs to be heard.

Though these ads have been out for awhile I just saw them today. I’m out of the MTV loop since I stopped watching it years ago (when they became a mostly obsolete network that produces extremely shallow “reality” TV crap). I do miss the good old days though when they actually used to play music videos. Perhaps MTV is trying to become relevant again? If they keep putting out messages like this it might just work.

Just as I wrote this the YouTube video was taken down and other versions aren’t embeddable on WordPress so here are links to the ads:

The Holocaust Happened to People Like Us:

“Family Room”

“Subway”

Also, on second thought I have to give MTV some credit for their political action efforts. They do encourage people to get educated and involved in politics and to register to vote, which is more than can be said for most other networks. Plus, their presidential debate was by far the most balanced and objective — MTV was much better than CNN or Fox — all candidates were treated fairly and given equal time.
