The World's Coming To An End

A sign of the final times: MTV is about to show something intelectual and worth watching. On Monday night at 10, MTVnews will run a special on Iraq/Afganistan war veterens coming home. It shows how the men and women who have served our country are not being taken care of once there tour of duty is finished. These people have trouble getting jobs, dealing with Posttraumatic stress disorder, and just adjusting back to a world without war. Whether or not you support the war, you have to support those that have literraly sacrificed their lives, or at least a significant portion of it, for your freedom and how we support these people when they come home should be a major issue in the upcoming election.

Kanye West joined Sway to meet a couple veterans while on the Glow In The Dark Tour, but he's definitly not the focus of this show. At least, I hope he's not, I haven't seen the show yet. If MTV makes this show about the artist and not the people who are struggling, I will boycott the channel for a long time, or until they stop showing NEXT and Parental Control.

Here is a preview:


And here is what Bill O'Reilly has to say. If you limit him to 19-ssecond clips, he's not so bad.
