Why I Love the Internet #1

MtK here. I’m introducing a new feature at FM where we quickly summarize one thing that, thanks to the internet, makes our life awesome. Or more enjoyable. Or something

WILTI #1 - 6/2/09:

Ronin and I were discussing award shows, and him and I both have an equal hatred for most things, especially those aired by MTV.

Back in the day it used to happen that if something happened that was remotely funny the night before on TV, you missed out. Maybe you caught the clips as part of some sort of “Best of” show or something later. But by that point you didn’t care.

Then, streaming came along, and maybe you could see the whole thing—but who cared?

Now, you can watch the individual clips and watch the funny stuff and ignore the rest of the crap. Case in point, this year’s VMAs. The VMAs can suck it, but Andy Samberg’s opening, Bruno’s “prank” on Eminem, and a medley featuring many Lonely Island tunes (with Forrest Whittaker singing “Dick in a Box”).

Thanks to the internet, I’ve enjoyed only the best parts of the program, commercial free, without sitting through hours of crap, and this is Why I Love The Internet.
