Think MTV is one of the many divisions of Viacom’s media child that is supposed to not be a huge advertisement for MTV, but actually is. Think MTV is supposed to be all about “youth networking,” but all you need to do is say the damn title of the site to realize what Think is about:

MTV. Don’t you want to watch it? Why aren’t you watching it now?

Think MTV has taken on racism, terrorism, but doesn’t seem to have any relevant point with their new Holocaust Ads.

Yes. Holocaust.

Check out Subway and Home Invasion:

The Holocaust? Really?

There are certain things that need to be talked about right now, and we suppose the Holocaust is one way of looking at it, but MTV seems to misfire once again and picks something so obviously pandering that it fails to connect.

The Holocaust was horrible, yes. But, anyone who doesn’t realize that the Holocaust actually happened to people like us hasn’t been to one of the numerous emotionally tiring Holocaust museums.

If we want to talk about Thinking and not Thinking MTV, we can still use entertainment to do so, but we need to be talking about the Middle East, our government and economy taking a nose dive and a million other things complacent Americans don’t talk about, over half of which are more important right now than the Holocaust.

This informative entertainment is out there, as anyone who has rented 1998’s The Siege since 2001. Internment camps, torture, it’s all there:

This is just more evidence that Viacom is falling way behind the cutting edge revolutionary appearance they want MTV to project.

MTV is so close to losing it’s reputation amongst those of us who watched it in the late 80s and through the 90s. It’s become the Disney Channel pretending to have some edge.

Blech.
