What Ever Happened To MTV News?

Seriously? Su-chin Pak, Sway, and that old creepy white guy who slightly resembled David Bowie, please tell me you remember them? Do you remember the immediate breaks in your LFO music videos because you were such a tween and loved to sing "I like girls who wear Abercrombie and Fitch", like you really understood the lyrics but liked to pretend you did because you were SO totally 90's. The sound when MTV News came on was so rememberable that it is to be forever known as that sound.
Recently I was watching MTV, I noticed the graphic cube that appears in replacement of the old MTV News show. I must say, I was a little disappointed. The graphic cube displays the latest news in the music scene. When I first saw it, I thought to myself...how am I supposed to read this thing fast enough? This is not news! I want the MTV reporters to break in with their latest update to the world, with the delivery that made you feel as though what you were being told was critical information and you had to call your bff to make sure they knew that Nick and Jessica were totally breaking up.
It is safe to say times change and media changes with it. Although, we will never forget some of the little things from our childhood that made us oh so happy and kept us saying, I want my MTV!
