After languishing in Miami for the past two years, the MTV shocked and disgusted the citizens of NYC by announcing that the Video Music Awards were returning to the Big Apple in 2006.
The scenic beaches of Miami had been the show's backdrop since 2004, with celebrities and announcers arriving by yacht and after-show shindigs taking place on South Beach.
But this year, the horrible awards show will return to its home in Radio City Music Hall, much the repulsed chagrin of local New Yorkers.
"We threw a party when that crapfest went south," remarked Joe Everyman, 26. "But now that it's back, I won't be able to go anywhere near downtown, all because 50 Cent's Hummer-limo will have throngs of morons running around in the street. Thanks a lot."
Since its inception in 1980, MTV has become known for its beacon of reality-shows and scant presentation of rap singles as opposed to actually having music.
