No Rock And Roll Fun

MANSON AND MATHS: We're delighted that Shirley Manson has been confirmed as MTV Europe music presenter, but we'd have to take issue with the claim of "a potential audience of a billion people." While we suppose if everyone in Europe with a DSAT box could invite those without around, does that really make it a potential audience? If the rest of the world happened to drop by for tea on the evening of the event - something just as likely - there could be an audience of six billion. Why not claim that?

Also, don't be alarmed by the headline on the piece, which says 'Dido and Pink to perform at MTV awards' - it's not together. Please.
