1. A television corporation that many believe to have ruined music in itself. This, explained by Ozzy Osbourne, is because it took away all the excitement of listening to your favourite music, as before MTV existed people physically had to go watch their favourite bands play (whereas today, people have particularly easy--or lazy--access to their favourite music on television).
1. I wonder what the world would be like if MTV hadn't come along ...four thousand times better, perhaps?

A term given to the "condition" girls who WANT to have anorexia really have. They'll promote their "eating disorder" and tell everyone how little they've eaten and talk about how fat they think they are, whereas someone who actually has anorexia nervosa wouldn't promote this fact at all. What these wannarexic girls don't realize is that you can't force yourself to be anorexic, and if they truly knew how dark and lonely having anorexia is, they wouldn't wish it upon their worst enemies. They're really only doing it for attention, which is an issue in itself.
