Does it matter anymore? All MTV knows now a days is reality shows, bad rap music, and Jonas brothers

It was not a mistake, but rather a carefully orchestrated plan specifically designed to humiliate Michael Jackson--because apparently they felt that making fun of Michael was the popular thing to do in 2002 and they knew that such controversy would help boost their plummeting ratings. Every year since they have used that clip to mock Michael Jackson. Michael would not have had a full 'statement of thanks' prepared had he not been informed beforehand that he'd be receiving the millennium award, and the media wouldn't have reported days beforehand that Michael would be receiving said award.Does anyone have proof of the statement mtv made before the award show? a link, a saved shot of it or somehting?? I think it was jsut a mistake. I mean its easy to make that kind of mistake when you are actually receiving those types of awards from other shows.

Here's a screenshot from MTV.com after the event:
I have been posting this throughout this thread... Your welcome
:flowers: Sorry, I had saved it to my computer when the same discussion came up months ago--not sure if you're the one who posted it back then or not but thanks... (I didn't see that you had already posted it while I responded, apologies).
From what I remember, there was NO prop. It was because Britney added in her speech something like, "And he is, to me, the Artist of the Millenium."
It was an honest misunderstanding from Michael but should have been left at that. It was tasteless for MTV to joke about it on the same show...and to this day.
So...according to MTV, 2 1/2 months is the standard time for mourning and it's ok to turn Michael into a joke again.-_-

So where is that bloody email? I want to write these bastards so badly..
hehe what's even worse is that now days reality shows, bad rap music, and Jonas brothers are almost the same thing
wasn't there a post a while ago that MTV had admitted that it actually was an artist of the millinium award? And now they are saying it wasn't again? They must be really hurting for ratings to resort to dishonoring a beloved dead person.
They are lying devils, I hate MTV. I wouldn't watch that channel evev if they did say something positive about MJ because it wouldn't come from appreciation but for ratings.
MTV is no longer important to the world. They have no influence anymore. The MTV generation is over, so what they do or say is of no consequence.
Michael made them what they used to be, and they threw it all away because of corporate greed.
