Before Heidi Montag's executive-produced "emotions," talentless alcoholics seeking attention by running obstacle courses, and game shows on which the prize was lifelong shame and implied sexual activity, MTV once stood for "Music Television. Seriously. They played "music videos," which were short films meant to accompany a piece of music. And they were often amazing.

MTV has miraculously collected these forgotten cultural artifacts and dumped them into an online library at MTVMusic.com. In its first day, the site's top-played video was Money For Nothing by Dire Straits, which translates to most contemporary MTV viewers as "Rihannawhaaa?"

Congratulations, MTV. You're going to make the Web very happy.
