The Wall Street Journal reports MTV’s VH1 will, on January 13, launch “Web Junk 20,” a show featuring video clips found on MTV-owned iFilm. MTV hopes the show will drive viewers to the company’s online channel, Vspot. Unfortunately, as with other MTV online efforts, Vspot does not work with Firefox and visitors using that browser are met with “We’re Sorry. PC Users with Netscape, Mozilla or Firefox: you need to run Internet Explorer to use VSpot.” Idiots. Those most likely to be interested in Vspot content have a clue and those who have a clue use Forefox, not IE. Please get a clue, MTV and screw your deal with Microsoft.
