Ok I know this isn't about music videos but it's close. Here goes:

Does anybody like Kennedy as a VJ on MTV? I certainly don't
and I wonder how she got/keeps the job. I don't think she's
very entertaining at all. Any other opinions out there?

I hope she reads this. I LOVE YOU KENNEDY!

The only nice thing I can say about Kennedy is - she is *slightly* less
annoying than "Downtown" Julie Brown. Anyone *more* annoying than "Downtown"
Julie Brown would have been drowned at birth.

Then you are not truly worthy of being obsessed with Kennedy.

Kennedy is omnipotent. Succumb to her. She knows all. Oh, Kennedy!

the only thing she has going for her is that she hosts alternative nation.

In general, I can't STAND MTV anymore; I used to like it up until they started
changing to metal/rap/commercials format! Anyway, that's deviating from the
question. NO, I DO NOT LIKE THAT KENNEDY CHICK!!! Once in awhile, I'll tune
in to see if I can catch ANY alternative videos (I keep misssing 120 Minutes
because I'm always asleep at that time) and when I do tune in, she is always
on...needless to say, she is annoying and very stupid!!! I watched Alternative
Nation for the first time last night, and she was annoying as all hell!!! Come
to think of it, all the VJs are annoying!

That's my two bits worth.

Okay, I felt I have to post on this subject (even though it's really not
related specifically to music videos), since there's been a few other posts,
some well-thought out and others, not-so...

I have noticed that with Kennedy, it's either you don't like her, or you do
like her, there's no inbetween. I have also noticed that most women do not
like Kennedy. This is because many of her wacky/zany antics are childish or
sex-related, both of which appeal to the average American male (or the
sex-starved computer jockey who posts love letters on usenet). I personally
like Kennedy mostly because it appears that she ad libs everything she does,
which means she's probably the way she is on MTV as she is in real-life.
Most of the other VJs seem scripted, and the ones that don't seem that way
are boring as hell or truly annoying (ie. Duff). Kennedy seems to be much
like a person I'd like to meet, unlike any other the other VJs.

I actually prefer the innocence Kennedy showed her first two weeks of being
a VJ on MTV, if anyone remembers seeing her those first two weeks she was
on the air, you'll know what I'm talking about. I feared that MTV would
warp her like so many other VJs before her, but it didn't seem to do that.
Sure, sometimes Kennedy can be annoying, but then again, isn't everyone
annoying at one time or another?

And by the way, it's highly unlikely that Kennedy, or anyone that knows
Kennedy, reads usenet articles...it's just not a mainstream activity...

Also by the way, I too find most of the other VJs boring or annoying, just to
give a frame of reference for my post.

Yeppers. You got it. She is way cool.

what I Thought she said..You know, Steve was standing right there looking
at her and..she just like, said it.

Oh boy. Fratboys on parade.

For the record, I think Kennedy is quite amusing.

(Henry Rollins acting goofy... the mind reels...)

I thought Kari Wurher was pretty entertaining, too. But that could have
been a purely hormonal response, I'm not sure.
