Monday Morning Diversion: Kanye's VMA Antics

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Sep 14, 2009 4:20PM

By now, you've already seen and heard all about Kanye's antics during Taylor Swift's speech at last night's MTV Video Music Awards. A few thoughts:

1. Kanye has finally pulled a jerkstore move even we can't defend.
2. Why was a Taylor Swift video on MTV?
3. MTV still shows and associates itself with videos?
4. As to the accusation it was all staged, that implies Kanye would have to be at least a little self-aware and we just don't buy that.

As for reaction, fellow nominee (and object of mine and Tankboy's affection) Kelly Clarkson had some thoughts, Kanye took to his blog to apologize (sorta, cause he was just being real), and Tankboy thought the smartest reaction to all the shenanigans came from Rich at FourFour.

Anyway, we enjoyed this mash-up more than we enjoyed the original tantrum. ODB did it better, anyway.
