Yeah, really. There’s MTV, MTV 2, and now MTV U. Considering that the last time I ever actually watched MTV with interest was in 1991 (I never really liked MTV even when I was the age at which I was supposed to like MTV), I’m not suprised that I was unaware of MTV U, a new MTV station focused on the college student. I was also suprised to find out that Kevin Smith<\/a>, director and writer of great cult films like Chasing Amy<\/a>, Clerks<\/a>, and Clerks 2<\/a> is writing and producing webisodes for the MTVU website. They’re basically comedic shorts reporting on cool things you can do on the weekends when not studying for class. The segments focus on things like a Haunted House in Arizona, a nerdy computer rapper, and Roller Derby with hot chicks. You can check out all the webisodes HERE<\/a>. (The topics really don’t apply to me anymore since I’m getting ready to hit the big 3-0 in February, but I like Kevin’s self-depricating humor.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
