"who cares about MTV's
poles? just abunch of non-voters that dont work for a living and sit home watching TV "


Keep in mind, the MTV crowd/generation are the ones fighting the war!! Granted, a lot of them are lazy and nonproductive
but a lot are a great asset to our society.

This is not exactly a patriotic act. MTV is afraid that they will be losing this segment of the "youth market" forever if they or one of the artists on their playlists really screw up like the Dixie Chicks. MTV could be painted as "enemy music television" (EMTV?) and these soon-to-be-vetrans might avoid the Tokyo Rose of 2003.

In such a scenario, MTV stands to lose a lot of advertising money if they cannot deliver viewers because of boycotts. This is just a hedge against any future problems.
