Yay cultural ignorance! If they weren't cool when you were 19 who the hell cares about them!

Give me a break.  You sound sound like someone's grandpa.

Grandpas are a hell of a lot cooler than young people these days.

I'm aware that Kenye had some popular songs like 8 years ago but I had no idea he was still around. Taylor Swift was #1 on eMusic's charts for like 2 straight months but I saw "country" by her name so I never clicked.

Of course our opinions about MTV are valid!  We were its target demo when "Video Killed the Radio Star" first rolled!

It is entirely possible this whole event has been staged. Eight years of the Bush Administration has made me suspicious of everything I hear about.

I don't care about people who were cool when I was 19 either. Take that wombat-like zen, kiddo.

What a mockery. Dude wanted to plant a big asshole on stage and the production allowed him to do it. A standard human would have had six dudes pick him up and walk away with him, Kanye gets his time.

I'm applying wrestling logic* to this incident. Fans will occasionally jump the barricade at wrestling shows and try to interfere in matches. WWE and TNA policy is to ignore it and get the guy off camera ASAP. I once saw a guy jump the barricade and push over a ladder while Eddie Guerrero was on top of it in full view of the camera. The announcers said "It looks like Eddie lost his balance climbing and the ladder tipped over. I hope he's OK." We all saw the guy push the ladder on live TV but the announcers immediately claimed we didn't. You don't want to draw attention to the fan because it encourages others.

Thus if somebody jumps the barricade and the announcers acknowledge it you know it's staged and it will turn out out the "fan" was another wrestler in disguise or something. Since Kanye didn't get his mic cut and ushered off by security then this was planned. Twitter and FB both went apeshit when this happened and I'm guessing that didn't exactly hurt the ratings.


[edit: looks like a few of us were thinking the same thing]

As one of my other-message-board friends put it, "Damn you, Kanye West, for actually making me feel sorry for Taylor Swift."

So very, very staged. Got us talking about the VMAs, eh?

Sorry, Kanye, Beyonce has a good video, but it is so NOT one of the greatest of all time.  Just, no.  Also, you can't sing, so stop trying.
