Keep Fishin' report:

Channel V China: the video is 'quite frequently' played on their 'Pop From the West' show!
MTV Brazil: on the "comedy" show "Worst Clips Ever", Keep Fishin was chosen the "clip-cliché" Pat hiding from Miss Piggy with the lampshade earned a "burp" from the host - the worst grade it could get! Host Joao Gordo is actually a big fan and said "I love Weezer, and this clip is awesome. I'm just doing this because MTV pays me to..." The show will be aired again on Saturday at 8:00pm and Monday at 5:00pm. Meanwhile, the video also debuted on the "Riff" show, "...a punk/hardcore show...the vj said that keep fishin shows the new drummer, [making a joke about Animal replacing the kidnapped Pat]." They classified it as a "d+ video", which is apparently a top ranking! The video is scheduled to enter regular rotation on Mtv Brazil in mid-late September.
Mtv Chile: "Dope Nose" has reached the Number 1 on the 10 most requested songs!!
