Pretty good, thank u! We are both nerding out right now (DFT on the xbox, myself on the internet) and we JUST got all caught up on Lost. Neither of us had ever gotten into it until over the summer while we were on vacation. Funny, I didn't think we'd both get so into it! Fun times. How are you? How is Farah? Give her a scratch behind the ears for me.

Meme this thing may end up being, not many will have President Obama's stern disagreement in them.

Also, I think this is the first time I've gotten a vid into the top 15!

I hear what you're saying... but he's still a DOUCHE.

No that's not a douche, that's exceeding the level of douche and moving into the realm of douchebaggery.

Showing the world how much of a complete asshole you can be, that you have no humanity, no care, no respect for someone else. That all moments of publicity exist for either them, or people just under them in their very small world view.

Without actually paying attention more I'd be happy to slap on the megalomaniac label.

Kanye West doesn't care about white people.
Here are the two videos in question:
Taylor Swift: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTaPVlyEQc8
Beyonce: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVEGfH4s5g
If either one of these is considered award-worthy, things are in a sad state.

What I really don't understand is how he got up there in the first place. He's made a few scenes like this before. If you were working security and saw him approaching the stage, wouldn't you kick the shit out of him? If you were running the event, wouldn't you leave security with strict orders to do just that?


When I saw the headline earlier today I knew I'd end up seeing this on the sift later in the day.

I think it's clearly manufactured *controversy. If you did a poll on here, I'll bet 80-90% if not more people would say they would not even know the VMAs happened last night... unless he had done this elaborate nudity-free publicity stunt (oh Bruno, where are you now?).

Quote of the day: "I was excited to be onstage because I just won the award. And then I was excited that Kanye West was onstage. Then, I wasn't excited anymore." - Taylor Swift


If true that's bloody hilarious.>> ^jordanonorth:
I think we've all been trolled hard. If anything, Kanye is the troll of our generation.


Exactly.

P.S. these videos are nothing compared to some of the much more interesting things that've come out this year from around the world. Shameless promotion exhibit #1.

I'm sorry, but Sick Muse beats them all to a pulp with a burning sparkler. Yes, I went there.

As does most every Metric single and tons of awesome music which you'll make you feel so much better.

I also like this one, but it's clearly not 2009.

Wow, just Wow!

Where to start. Kanye isn't a musician. Musicians create and perform music, Kanye samples and distorts the work of others and calls it his own. His work is like going to the Louvre and photographing real works of art, making a collage and then espousing about how great you are to have done it all.

Beyonce's video, all I can say is it's nice to know that strippers will always have a future as hip-hop choreographers. All that was missing was the friggin' brass pole.

Now, Taylor Swift, I have a hard time believing that any 19 year-old deserves the accolades she receives. Her entire career wreaks of corporate manipulation. Her bio sounds like a made for TV movie. She's a wonder of marketing, just like 99.9% of all the popular artists around. Maybe if she was homely I'd believe she's as talented as she's portrayed.

The modern music industry is garbage, regardless of how popular it is. Image has replaced talent, and computer processing has replaced hard work and skill.

And the VMA's are a testament to how far music has fallen.

It's all well and good, but don't get carried away with all the hype.
This is exactly why I come to Videosift, not YouTube.
