how creepy is this?

Just spotted this on Slashdot this morning, “MTV, Microsoft band together for music service”:http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5993125.html.

bq. “As with everything we do at MTV Networks, every element of URGE will be developed with our audience in mind,” said Jason Hirschhorn, MTV Networks’ chief digital officer, in a statement. “Beyond providing a simple transactional service, Urge will provide a musical playground where fans can experiment, customize, discover and download new music.”

_Experiment, customize, discover_? That cant be the same “MTV”:http://www.mtv.com that I’m thinking about? Well, from a business is a really good move and I’m sure it will do well. It’s just such an evil paring don’t you think? The “Evil Monopolist”:http://www.microsoft.com meets “Ritalin for the Masses”:http://www.mtv.com.
