What happened to video clips?


When I go to the gym at work while exercising I watch musical TV channels to ease the pain. I gave up on news channel a long time again as they don't really entertain you.
Let’s face it there are only 2 channels available: Jim TV and TMF, and we can say it there are far from being the best music channels existing. But again, all that matter is to get some good music and videos to distract you when you exercise.
I’m afraid to say it is not that simple.

First good music: it seems those channels can only show a limited selection of songs. If you go 2-3 times a week it is very likely that you will hear the same songs within 1 hour. Order might be different, but inevitably the same songs will come again. You could argue that as long as there are good songs that would be fine but it’s not. You get the chance to hear one crappy song after the other. Again, if the video is good you could somehow manage.

But sadly I have to ask: what happened to the great videos that you want to know what will happen in the story? They are gone apparently and for sure those that are left are not played on Jim TV or TMF. More than half of the videos are showing half-naked women, preferably dancing around men. It seems the less clothes you wear the better.
Hard to believe some of these snapshots are from video clips that are played all day long on TV…
Now I understand why men don't really care about the quality of the music or the video, as long as those girls are dancing around, they're distracted from the exercise :)
