Ouch, the truth hurts (Brian Firenzi is so good at playing an asshole villain; he made the sometimes-cringe-worthy "Video Game High School" a bit more bearable).



I'm actually really [happily] surprised to see so few whining comments on the Youtube version of the video ; someone even mentioned Frank Zappa who called Bull@%&# on MTV decades before it went down the @%&#hole. It served its purpose when kids had limited options to discover non-mainstream artists... but nowadays the internet certainly opens plenty of doors (for free, and on-demand instead of in-high-rotation).

Seems about right to me.
