...arranged a board meeting, directors weren't told where they would assemble until the last minute. With only hours to spare, Viacom and Blockbuster announced a shocker: an $8.4 billion merger that would create a multimedia powerhouse with assets ranging from Viacom's MTV (home of Beavis and Butt-head) and Nickelodeon to Blockbuster's 3,500 retail stores...
...notion of interactive rock is in vogue if not yet in practice. The latest Beavis and Butt-head video, I Got You Babe, has the two cartoon metalheads cackling wildly as they put on virtual-reality headsets, plunge into cyberspace and select a "chick" from a computer screen menu.

Just a decade ago, "hell" and "damn" were the most offensive words permitted on broadcast TV; today the colloquialisms "butt" and "sucks" are in daily currency on all major networks. Characters on Fox sitcoms and MTV cartoon shows snicker about their erections, and the stars of NYPD Blue can call each other "asshole." Look at Montel Williams and Geraldo. Listen to Howard Stern...

Who, after all, will service our huge earth-serving space infrastructure, the satellites that bring us Beavis and Butt-head, that allow weathermen to guess wildly a full seven days into the future, that can rattle the pocket pagers of every Rogaine salesman in the country? Who will service these vital underpinnings of Western civilization? Man, says NASA...
...Please-O-Meter, WW2 scores high, though one wonders whether kids will remember Wayne and Garth from two fads back, before Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butt-head. The other new comedies need never worry about fashion; B2 and SA2 are timelessly terrible. Perhaps, next time, the nuns and the St. Bernard should team up -- for Dog Act. And maybe someone could explain why moviegoers pay good money to watch inferior TV on the big screen. It's enough to give sequels a bad name...
