I think the last time I actually cared about MTV was around 1991, so I'm not really invested in the latest Kanye West drama/hype that happened at last night VMAs. But I do think this picture was bizarre enough to post. It pretty much confirms that this is a world I have nothing in common with anymore. Thankfully.

Perez obviously sitting in back of his new BFF Lady Ga Ga and he is creaming his pants over meeting Beyonce.

Bob...I couldn't agree more.
I was pissed last night as someone stopped the recording of my shows to watch the VMAs live and participate in a liveblog. Part of me is getting old and crotchety, but when you see that this is what we present to our impressionable youth as acceptable, I lose some more faith in our society.
Or maybe I should just chill-ax?

Madonna & Janet Jackson made the first 15 minutes bearable.

And yet these are the folks who say that hard-working Americans who attend tea parties and townhall meetings are out of touch. If that's who I'm out of touch with, all I can say is thank God.

Beyonce is probably wondering why the hell they sat her with the crazies as this picture was taken.

I love this entire post was dedicated to telling us how you've outgrown MTV. Well, good for you. How about some blogging now?

I haven't watched it yet, but the only reason I DVR'd it was because Russell Brand was hosting and I'm quite fond of his work.
Oddly enough, in an attempt to drum up viewership, sister Viacom network The N went off the air during the first two hours of the first showing, putting up a slide that effectively said "Go watch the VMAs".

I'm glad that this issue wrapped up in a nice little bow but I wonder the effects it'll have on Kanye's career?
Overall, I believe this issue will blow over. Meanwhile, RIDICULOUS situations like this should be addressed!
