2009:
I posted the Fuse Top 40 of 2009 on here, and I was mad at not only Britney (or Bitchney, Cheatney, and got SO Mad and had the nerve to call her Hitlerney) but at the host selection. AFAIC, It still should've been either Steven or Mistress Juliya, not this jackass excuse of a host named Toure. Also, they had the audacity to snub My Chemical Romance and Hollywood Undead, among other former rock faves (The Used, PATD, FOB, etc...) from the list completely. This is even worse than the 2008 list which had Lil Wayne @#1.

Why Bitchney Spears is allowed to win the Fuse Best of 2008 and 2009? Because her fans were gaming the system both times to screw over the Rock (and better musician). I hope you rot in Hell, Ms. Slutney Spears! Please note that I used to like Britney back in the day until these last couple of years, and making matters even worse, ATRL and PMB worship her like Jesus, when she is NOT deserving of being the REAL Pop Queen anymore. Britney better screw herself out of more hits.

If this isn't enough proof that Fuse has been going down the toilet for those who are Rock-leaning. They already fucked over Mistress Juliya once and they are doing it once more. This is beyond asinine bullshit what they're doing not only to Juliya, but to Steven and even Allison Hagendorf. Alison Becker was briefly on here as well and even hosted VH1 Top 20 until early January 2009 when Jim Shearer took over.

What the fuck is it with the Goddamn Takeovers every Monday anymore, especially by non-Rock artists (Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, etc...) and it being all Hip-Hop all the time. Hip Hop Shop is the only major music show with a host on anymore? That insipid piece of talentless monkeyshit-filled rap crap has NO business on Fuse. Go to Hell, Fuse management!!

What oughtta happen is Mistress Juliya whipping the shit out of these (and make them lick her boots in addition to repeated floggings. Plus, she is more than welcome to torture me any way she fits.) incompetent assholes who are fucking up the channel. That's more fun than having to sit through hours of shit music on Fuse. I am NOT kidding about what I just said here.


Fuse made another critical error by cancelling their best show, Steven's Untitled Rock Show, in December 2008. Ever since SURS went bye-bye, Fuse has went from a great music channel to a shit-infested channel that is a mockery of itself. They still should've never cancelled Dedicate Live, Oven Fresh, Daily Download, WKUK, or even The Sauce.

As I know, Fuse are being corrupt jerkoffs who don't care about non-Rap music anymore, and this is shit that I would expect at VH1, MTV, MTV2, CMT, and BET, not Fuse. Fuse, if you don't stop fucking over us Rock fans, then you can subject yourself to a riot outside MSG. Jesus Christ, Fuse!!!! Even the Viewer's Choice countdowns' been leaning less Rock in the past year. This is a very sad and steep decline to witness as Fuse watchers. Are the people running Fuse high on fucking crack? I think so. We Rock fans are taking back Fuse, just like the Liberals took back America from the hijacking Bush terrorists. It is pitiful when even MTV2 and mtvU is playing more Rock than Fuse... and this isn't funny at all. I hope Fuse wakes up from their mistakes, or it will get even bloody worse.

NEXT: VH1's Recent Music Crisis. The primary focus of that blog post will be VH1 Playlist/Top 20 Countdown-related. Don't expect much about VH1's mostly shit-ridden reality shows.
