A play on MTV. The kind of television programming that you don't plan on watching, but find yourself watching when you need to do something else. Television programming of no real substance and no educational value. Not because of a lack of something to do or motivation to do something else, you wind up watching.

AKA a "flower vase"
A Chinese slang term which often appears in web novels and dramas. An "empty vase" or a "flower vase" is a beautiful person (of either gender) who has no other substance, purpose, or intelligence outside of their appearance (i.e. they have a beautiful outer appearance, but are hollow and empty inside).
Like a vase, they may be chosen to decorate a person's home or life, but can be largely neglected or overlooked, so the term is usually applied to low-maintenance people.
The term is considered a negative insult, and is somewhat similar to the Western concept of a "skin-deep" beauty or a "trophy wife".

"He couldn't believe the ignorance coming out of the beautiful girl's mouth and wrote her off as an empty vase."
"She had been hurt by her past relationship, so this time she decided to choose an empty vase and try her hand at being a sugar momma to a handsome, shallow, boytoy."

The art of trying to make it look like someone's got a choice while narrowing their own ability to choose what they want to do.
Example: -
Person 1: - It's your choice but would you like to take your brothers and sisters out to the shops or the park.
Person 2: - '*thinks* "well I wasn't planning to take them, but you'll moan if I don't :| err empty choices Oo"' the parks fine.
Person 1: - Great, well it's your choice remember...
Person 2: - *Sigh* yup :/
