I just saw a "Pirate TV" interruption of some bonehead introducing a
video on "Yo! MTV Raps" and it looked decidedly bogus.  The video
"snow" they were mixing in looked very much like a cheap effect, and
the quality of the picture behind it was crystal - definitely not shot
on low-budget equipment.  Plus, the Pirates had the stupidity to show
their faces and talk into the camera, which definitely led me to
believe that MTV is perpetrating this hoax on us, so we will get
talking about it and maybe tune in, hoping to catch a glimpse of the
Pirates in action...  Whereas if MTV were really being interrupted, I
think it would only have happened once.

Come on guys, don't be so credible!
