Mike presents his views of MTV in a way that allows every person who has watched MTV to make a connection with what he is saying. He takes a look at the shows the network supports, and how they have played a role in his life. Mike uses the dating shows “Next” and “Parental Control” to express how to look at the shows and learn now to treat people. He makes reference to the Golden Rule, which I am sure all of us learned at an early age, to give deeper expression of what the dating shows have taught him. Along with references to the dating shows he expresses his views of “Beavis and Butthead”, and how even a show like had a helping hand in shaping the person he became. It is through his simple tone of voice that one is able to fully connect with his views. However, The one thing that really upsets me about Mike’s article is that he talks about these shows, which have nothing to do with music, and doesn’t state how the network that is called MUSIC television and has greatly swayed away from the music… but that’s just something the aggravates me I guess.
