SOME OLDIES FOR YOU

I'm feeling nostalgic for commercials I grew up with as a kid. So I searched and searched the vast lands of YouTube and found a couple to share. Enjoy the trip down memory lane :)

R.I.P. MUSIC TELEVISION ASSOCIATION

Not that we didn't already know Mtv no longer stands for music videos, Mtv made it official this week by removing "Music Television Association" from their name. For those of us that grew up with this amazing channel, here is a little something down memory lane.



By Frances Romero -- Time Magazine

The first video the network ever aired was pretty meta — fittingly so, considering all the Gen-X viewers it inspired. "Video Killed the Radio Star," by British synthpop group The Buggles, aired on August 1, 1981 — the official debut date of Music Television. True to its word, MTV then proceeded to kill the radio star. Some 20 years later, once it mostly stopped playing music videos, it would pretty much kill the video star too. At least we still have Snooki.

SUICIDAL CHIHUAHUA

A chihuahua with a death wish ran down a Brooklyn pier and dove into the frigid East River on New Year's Eve, only to be rescued by a vigilant member of the NYPD Harbor Patrol, according to 1010WINS. The brown and tan pooch hurled itself off the 62nd Street Pier on the border of Sunset Park and Bay Ridge on New Year's Eve, but an officer spotted the dog and fished him out.

The dog did not have an identification collar, but according to Suzanne Driscoll — who has been caring for the animal since the rescue — it appears to have been pampered by its previous owners. "Whoever this dog belongs to, spoiled this dog," she said. "He didn't want canned food, he wanted people food." The station reports that because the owners have not yet come forward, Driscoll has given the dog to the Forgotten Friends of Long Island, an animal rescue group. Anyone interested in adopting the canine — which a veterinarian has deemed healthy despite a few scrapes around the eye and one under the legs — can contact info@forgottenfriendsoflongisland.org.
