There should be truth in advertising--and logos. Years after they switched formats from music television to reality television, MTV is airbrushing the evidence of their initial raison d'etre from their iconic logo. Ironically, the fledgling network originally forced the logo's designers to insert the words ("music television") that they deleted under the logo 29 years later. Will Viacom executives next put a hit on Martha Quinn to erase all evidence of MTV's past? Music television is no more. MTV's logo is just late in catching up with the situation.

I want my MTV. I really do. But, nevermore.

Just listen to the Dead Kennedy's "MTV Get off the Air." Good stuff.
