Did anyone else see the interruption of the "Love and Anger" video
at 11:25 PM CDT Thursday night on MTV?  Kate was standing in front of
the line of dancers, and suddenly a big skull and crossbones with the 
caption "PIRATE TV" appeared instead.  There was maniacal laughter for
about five seconds, then it reverted to the LaA video.  I am not
kidding!

Was this:

  1) A cheap MTV stunt?  If so, I would think Kate would be
     pissed at her video being "violated" like this. 

  2) A genuine pirate (intercepted satellite link, microwave
     link, etc.)?

Just curious...
