Beavis
and Butthead, to put it mildly, possess no redeeming
social value, nor are they politically correct.
MTV, an unctious network, remarkably pleased with
its own unctiousness despite, or perhaps because
of its own programming, runs a disclaimer before
episodes of "Beavis and Butthead," pointing out
the crudity, sexism and general stupidity of the
boys - but what the hey, because, as the disclaimer
concludes, "For some reason the little wienerheads
make us laugh." The disclaimer, of course, is part
of the joke. The joy of watching Beavis and Butthead
is reveling in their social and political incorrectness.
