(please forgive if this post seems incoherant, it's been a long night and I didnt get much sleep) Well the way I look at it is like this, not everyone can single handedly save the world like Al Gore, there are many different ways you can change the world (for the better) and there are many small skirmishes I think need to be won in many areas. For example, in this case, the thing that I believe is fundamentally wrong was a large organisation like MTV is dictating to the world what it's tastes should be (rather than asking them) by what they believe constitutes the best musical act ever, with a clear disregard for acts that are widely regarded as the greats (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix). Tokio Hotel is the obvious example here, I hadn't even heard of them until I saw the campaign to get Rick Astley nominated on reddit. It's been happening with companies for years, not just related to media organisations (hey guys, buy Windows ME - it's the best thing ever!) and so in this case, a large organisation left themselves open to get egg on their face... in a very public way that goes completely against their standard operating procedure. It's not just a fight against one company, it's an example to all organisations that people should decide what is good for them, not the other way around. That being said, you can also look at it in a sarcastic/dark humorous manner. "If Rick wins over Tokio Hotel, imagine all the emo kids that will suicide in disgust, thus making the world a better place" Either would be an acceptable outcome.
