Salon does TRL:

An MTV staffer observes the crowd. “You like Backstreet Boys,” he pronounces. “Now, why do you like Backstreet?”

“Hi, my name’s Michelle, I’m from South Carolina and I like Backstreet because I love their music and their new video rocks!” the teenager says on cue.

“Mmmm. No,” says the staffer, sighing heavily. “First of all, you forgot your ‘Woooo!’ You have to ‘Woooo!’ at the end of your shout-out. Don’t ever forget to ‘Woooo!’ Now, which Backstreet is your favorite?”

“Um … Nick!”

“How about Kevin? Can Kevin be your favorite?” Nick is so pass?.

“Sure, OK!”
