I apologize for nothing

The wrong way, but faster.

Your video sucks

My gym has a special channel on the treadmills that I refer to as “gym MTV” - it’s like MTV, except that they show music videos.  Every now and then I check it out to see what I’m missing while listening to music of my own choosing on the ol’ iPod.

Today, there were three videos in a row that employed this device:  Whenever a harmony came up in the song, a second lead singer - a clone, if you will -appeared onscreen.  In one video (by Copeland) this was done despite NEVER SHOWING ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BAND.

So, note to bands, labels, and video producers:  This effect was dated and cheesy in 1981, when MTV was invented.  It is NOT cool.  It basically never was.  Please stop.

Thank you.
