    Whenever you download an MTVMP3 (catchy, ain't it)? You will start to hear the song, but it will be overlaid with giggling teenage girls requesting the song, along with some frat guy talking about how "that song rawks", and halfway through the song some halfwit Veejay (MP3jay) will stop the song and suddenly you'll be taken to an excerpt of MTV's "the real world."

    And a 2:20 song will suddenly be an 8 mb download.

    I freakin' can't wait. The revolution will be pre-packaged and sold in styrofoam containers.
