MTV Video Music Awards, Satanic Themes, ShopSense AI Partnership
The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards faced criticism for scheduling the event on September 11 and allegedly incorporating Satanic imagery. Paramount Global partnered with ShopSense AI to launch a shoppable advertising lens, allowing viewers to purchase outfits seen on screen during the broadcast. The shift toward predictable media cycles and AI-integrated shopping experiences is noted as a departure from the original format of the awards show.

00:00 No, just load up! We are hyperscalers and we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country right here in FEMA region number six. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where were all asking the question is to why did MTV become a staging ground for Satanists? I'm John C. Dvorak It's crackpotting buzzkill! Oh man you actually watched

You try to learn a little more Spanish Yeah And uh..I just caught the end of it It was terrible Here is good idea Let do big award show with Satanists on 9-11! Yeah, I know That pretty funny Uhh....I could not This the first time
01:17 In, oh man 30 something years I just could not watch. But I have no desire... You missed the best part! The trans Maoist stuff at the end Oh goodness see this is why I'm happy I didn't watch it because you know what to expect It's the same every single year Actually I think I decided not to watch when I read this article from CNBC When viewers tune into the 2024 MTV VMAs, which by the way that's just a little craw here for me. It's like I'm a crawl. Why? Well because back in my day we would say VMAs and then the producer would come on and go yeah that's a burn you have to say video music awards you can't say VMAs Oh interesting They wouldn't let us say that Actually but i should stop just mention before I forget
02:11 that when I tuned it in by accident, i thought it was the adult video movie award because of the... I did! The outfits. That was a show back in the day. AVN's. Yeah, it was the same time... Or just AVA's, Adult Video... No I think it was AVN wasn't that same time as Comdex? I want to say yeah well it was for several years crossover yeah yeah honey I really have to go to Comdex this year it's really important you know I'll just go the last few days that's always better

As part of a new partnership between Paramount Global—the parent company of cable and TV network MTV—and shoppable advertising company ShopSense AI viewers will be able to shop the outfits they're seeing on screen using the startup's new AI-powered lens which will launch at the start of The Award Show!
