albanian Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 count me in as another who immediately thought of MTV when I first saw this. In fact, I kind of thought the hat itself was supposed to imply being part of the MTV 'hip-hop' generation with the astronaut decked out in 'bling' But yeah, that is an extremely dated reference that I doubt most people would get. I think MTV stopped using the astronaut around 20 years ago, and the only time he does appear is during 'classic' MTV spots of how it was in the old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Actually I saw Blades Of Glory, and the MTV Films intro has a bunch of astronauts sitting in a theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess with the whole retro thing becoming popular again, MTV brought it back for their line of feature films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
