Sweet! I hope she talks about her vagina!

It doesn't matter to me what she says or does as far as I am concerned because I certainly won't be watching. What is problematic is the young people who will be watching. Someday, if she lives long enough, she will be an old lady wondering what in the world she was thinking. All she is trying to do, according to her, is push the envelope. Well, I think the envelope has already been pushed beyond the limits of acceptability.

Carol,

It sounds like your envelope has never even been opened. Try it sometime...

OK, seriously, Silverman's normal act is too raunchy for kids. And those kids should not be watching the bulk of the restof the shows on MTV either, not just the Movie Awards. To me it's not an issue if a kid watches raunch, but whether the kid's parent(s) monitor/limit/guide their kid's exposure to it and teaches the kid that while it can be entertaining, that does not mean it's acceptable behavior in most social situations and it should not be imitated. If childrens' exposure to questionable material is not monitored by the parents, then it doesn't matter if the kids see Sarah Silverman talk about her vagina for a few minutes because if the kids don't watch that show they'll still get all the exposure to raunch they want through other shows, music, movies, websites and just by talking to their friends.

Too bad they didn't get somebody who was still funny and worth watching. Pushing the envelope isn't entertainment, it's what unruly school kids do for attention and what immature children consider funny. It's also what some entertainers resort to when they lack talent and intelligence.

This would be the equivalent of a female Andrew "Dice" Clay kind of mtv awards... eh, I might watch if nothing else is on...and she talks about her vagina.

Did you ever watch The Sarah Silverman Program? It was hilarious, and there wasn't any swearing in it.

A 7 second delay is not 'live'!

Yeah, this will probably turn into another crummy Mark Burnett reality show. What does a 50 year old man know about being "Hip" - c'mon MTV you can do better!

Galley (#7) - I hope Sarah brings her boyfriend "God".

I just watched the opening of the mtv movie awards with my daughter (23) and her boyfriend(25)and I found Sarah Silverman to be the most classless and cruel of brats. She said such offensive things about the young hollywood problem kids. Is this what this generation is about? wow!! She is not funny, she is not talented and I have no clue why she would be the voice of that generation. She should be ashamed of her self. Getting attention by hurting others is not cool. She is so uncool, jimmy kimmel deserves better.

Traditionally, the MTV music awards have always been about "fun at the movies" and what makes it so enjoyable to us, hence, the unique awards for best kiss, best villian, etc. The host was always someone who was active in said movies, was familiar to us, and could keep the fun going. Mz Silverman is none of this. One good joke (you know all jokes are created by a staff of other writers, don't ya?) does not make a person funny or even a good comedian. All she is is a late-night lounge act who serves are tepid warm-up for the main event. She needs to go back to the suburbs of Detroit and swamps of Arkansas to be with her kind
