MTV Mike

Mike says that MTV has shaped his character and I could not agree more. Although MTV never states in bold-faced terms “you should respect and be nice to one another” they do have their own way of teaching us that by advertising what the other side is like. Almost like an Anti-role-model. Although the luxury of shows like MTV cribs is very appealing, the attitudes and stupidity of the majority of the other shows is definitely not. While I may laugh at them, I would be mortified if people were laughing at me for the same reason. I think what Mike is saying is that MTV gives teenagers a place to look for ideas on how to shape themselves. He just uses nicer words and a more intellectual “cooler” way to say it. In my own opinion, I think that MTV Mike’s writing style is , to say the least, very unique. While he uses an intelligent and almost formal way of writing, they way we are taught in school, he uses lingo and clichés that are not learned nor encouraged in schools. He really seemed to mix the two very well. When Mike is writing it is almost like he is talking to you but in a way that would suggest he had actually listened to his teacher in English.
