Me personally, didn't watch the MTV music videos but I'm sure most have heard about Kanye West and what he did to Taylor Swift. What a ****!!!! If I was Taylor's father I would have walked up to him and stretched his **** out right were he sat. When my daughter told me about what happened at first I thought it was staged, but after seeing the look on Taylor's face, it clearly was not staged in my opinion. Granted, Beyonce tried making things right but still stole her spotlight. Anyways, I've had my rant for the day. For those that have no clue as to what I'm talking about, here is a link.

    What a ****.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I haven't "seen" this but have heard enough about it that I'd be REALLY surprised if it wasn't staged.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I absolutely hate MTV and Kanye West. I understand that he has his opinions, but there is a good and a bad way to express an opinion. He always chooses the worst way to express his opinion. Only reason I heard about this was because it was on Yahoo this morning, so I watched the replay of it. Taylor Swift looked completely stunned by it. She should have just turned and kicked him in the nuts...it would have served him right.

    It's a joke. Kanye West is the guy who, during some telethon for Katrina victims, said "George Bush does not care about black people" live on the air.

    Seriously, you guys love to pride yourself on ignoring popular culture and asking "who is _____" every time a popular performer comes up, and then act surprised when you don't get the jokes about it?

    He likes being in the spotlight period, as they say any media is good media. Did it suck what he did? YES, he has done it before and will do it again.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Poor girl looked like she was about to cry. Most of the audience was stunned, some were booing, some were cheering. The douchebag basically ruined a pretty massive milestone in that girl's life too through his self-serving actions.

    Later in the show Sean Combs comes out to do one of the awards announcements and acts like he doesn't know what happened when everyone starts booing him for touting Kanye West as being "in the family" or some other stupid stuff like that.
