Don't mess with my childhood

I hate MTV.

It was decent until around 1993, at which time the music was dialed down and the reality crap was turned up. The Real World was on the mark until 1998, when the Seattle season took it to new lows.

MTV has produced a few movie which I like - Wayne's World, Wayne's World 2, and Austin Powers. It's amazing how they've been able to continue to churn out frothy, feature-length chum from so-so skits from Saturday Night Live. Case in point, MacGruber.

They've now sunk to an all-time low. Beyond low.

They've remade Footloose.

How dare they mess with my childhood.

Not only have the prettied it up, they've also put a "Step It Up" twist to it, which goes against the very nature of what the original film's message was.

It ain't broke. Don't try and fix it.
