MTV showing videos again...but screw it up!

I don't watch MTV anymore, but I stumbled across the channel this morning and saw them actually playing a music video!  Which was the whole point of the channel, right?  I thought it was a good move on their part... that is until they started putting little videos of people commenting on the video in the lower left hand corner!  And it lasted almost the entire video!  All of these videos were added to a poll at the bottom as either "Lovers" or "Haters".  I couldn't enjoy the video and the song because of these douchy people talking over it.  Which in my opinion totally takes away from the experience.  This is worse that f'n Youtube... at least on Youtube, you can choose not to read a bunch of a-holes' thoughts on something.  But on MTV, these videos of people's comments are unavoidable.  You can't ignore it.  So much for MTV making a comeback.  Just play the video, please.  By the way, the video was the Ting Tings' "Shut Up and Let Me Go".  I wanted to tell MTV to shut up and let me watch the freakin video.
