 MTV is owned by Viacom - the same Viacom that pushes for media deregulation 
 supported by their "conservative" Republicans allies.  "Conservatives" would 
 like to make you think they care about all the "sex-soaked soap operas" and 
 other stuff on MTV in the name of "morality."  The truth is that the 
 almighty $$$ is all most "conservatives" care about.  As long as it makes 
 $$$, expect more "conservative" hypocrisy on this one.
