Should I care that people keep making videos entitled Shameless ******* Video?

Shameless Techno Video was pretty awful and today Jebadia released Shameless Country Video which at least is an enjoyable amv... but it's not in any way shameless.

I think the main thing that annoys me is that people use the name but not the idea behind it. SRV is a shameless rock video because it contains the clichés which can be found in rock videos - it's not shameless just because it uses rock music.

Neither of the above videos follow this idea, they have just picked the name in a fairly arbitrary manner with little relation to the content of the video. Certainly Jebadia's video could have really done with a non-shameless name as there is nothing shameless about it.

TommyRude once asked me if he could make a Shameless Rap Video. God help us all.

Personally, I think a "Shameless Ripoff Video" would be rather funny - a completely over-the-top video doing nothing but using other people's somewhat-signature effects and styles. ;)

And I think a "Shameless Rap Video" from Tommy would just scare me....
