Lunchtime Diversion

If last night's VMAs were a reflection of a moment in pop culture, this particular moment blows. BO-ring all around, the show got its only jolts of energy at the very end with an appearance by Cher, still believing she can "Turn Back Time," and the performance of a new song by Kanye West, who waited to actually be invited to the stage this time instead of just bum-rushing it. As more and more material of his comes out we're looking more and more forward to his new album, though we're confused by MTV's decision to bleep "shit" and not "asshole" in West's lyrics.
