By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Monday, May 1,2006 12:46 a.m.

Last Thursday, MTV released a report ... Yes, you read that right.

MTV's central conclusion was that an "activation gap" exists between the number of young people expressing an interest in getting involved in social causes, and the number actually involved in said causes -- that is, more people claim to be interested than actually do anything.
