TV Turnoff Week - Jam MTV

own the airwaves and profit-hungry corporations ain't the only ones
allowed to buy air time
In the buildup to TV Turnoff Week 2003 (April 21-27) we've hit the
corporate wall at MTV. Their "clearance department" didn't like our
simple, quarter-minute "TV-Head" uncommercial. How's that for free
speech from the station with attitude?
It's time to put on the ol' jamming boots and tell MTV that The People
own the airwaves and profit-hungry corporations ain't the only ones
allowed to buy air time:
- storm MTV studios,
- clog their online message boards,
- jam their "rants and raves" page, and
- plug their phone lines (1-212-258-8000) with your calls to keep
the airwaves free. Check our website for links and an action forum:

But MTV can't hold us back. We've already got airtime on CNN Headline
News for one showing of our TV-Head uncommercial (6:06 pm EST Sunday,
April 20).
Meanwhile, people around the world are into TV Turnoff Week. See the TV
