Kanye vs. Taylor Swift: Dumbest beef of all time

Last night, I inadvertently ended up watching the first hour of MTV's Video Music Awards

"inadvertently"

the art of pretend plebian

"i just happened upon a televisual device, much to my chagrin"

"It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you."
^really digging Kelly Clarkson right now

I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you

makes it sound like a complex kanye-involving love triangle.

i wish the celebrities being publicly mad about this weren't all white women

tbf i don't think shawnna really gives a shit about taylor swift tho

why?
xpost

because it judges edges this whole thing closer to being looked at primarily as a race or gender thing and not a one guy being an asshole thing

judges=just

what does lil mama think about kanye

Please list celebrities that are allowed to talk about this some dude.

I get what al's saying, the last thing we need is for this to blossom into some "black people think country music doesn't matter" donnybrook when it's really just a case where this one dude is a dick

my implication was that it'd be nice if there were more famous people shitting on kanye right now of all races and genders, not that the ones that are should be quiet

According to TMZ, Donald Trump, Pitbull, and Michael Jackson's dad also slammed Kanye.

Gaga should've gotten up there too and smeared blood on her while screaming "It's the FAME!". I'm all about disruptions at the prom...I mean..VMA's.

haha and Papa Joe was sharing Kanye's bottle of Hennessy earlier in the night! (xpost)

i like the prom comparison...especially because that makes kanye the guy who interruped miss congeniality to point out that the prom queen's way better

In my head, now, the whole VMA thing is playing out like an ILX clusterfuck thread.

8:12PM 09/13/09 andoudou
i watched it i did not hear any boo at Kanye n he is right Beyonce won it but as in uss they want the white girl to feel good they award it to her. so i hope she feel better even kanye dissed her. putting that wack girl in front a diva a let her win if i'm a hater 4 that sure I am she wacks i don't even see why they even comparing her to Beyonce.I loved Kanye now I adore him He is very brave.

You know what andoudou? You are right, Kanye is brave.

wack girl

But isn't the whole point of watching the VMA's too see what crazy mishaps and shenanigans will take place? And when does the opinion of a reality contestant EVER matter (I'm talking to YOU, Kelly Clarkson Mall Cop). All the celebs listed that are slamming him are not exactly the pillars of morality either...Joe Jackson? Fuckin Donald Trump? Irrelevant-as-hell Pink and Katy Perry? I'm not a Kanye fan but I find his tantrums hilarious.

With every column Carrie Brownstein undoes fifteen years' worth of good will.

enough has not been made of beyonces hilarious reaction http://i29.tinypic.com/16hrwy8.gif

This is kinda dumb and fruitless and whatever but I can't help wondering about the reaction and talk about subtexts if (say) Toby Keith (?) had jumped onstage during [insert not-laughable hot new rapper]'s acceptance speech and been like "Yo Cudi I'ma let you finish but Brooks & Dunn had one of the best videos of all time, ALL TIME!"

this is like one of those ilx clusterfuck threads, specifically the ones about trolls that some people got sick of years ago and some people are like "what's the big deal? he's funny!"

who is dude over her shoulder?

"Wow!"

if yr gonna do it

Not enough has been made of the bald dude who sat next to Lady Gaga, and who is present in that Beyonce GIF. Who was he? How does he remain so calm throughout all of this?

Obviously it doesn't really map over as country doesn't have the pop cultural dominance of r&b which changes the whole dynamic of the situation and I can't come up with a new rapper worth taking seriously and I don't know any relevant country superstars so but I'm just like thought experimenting

And when does the opinion of a reality contestant EVER matter (I'm talking to YOU, Kelly Clarkson Mall Cop).

WTF?

(xpost) How about if the spirit of Johnny Cash interupted Flo Rida?

<3 beyonce for that reaction

i'd imagine being in lady gaga's entourage makes you pretty unflappable

is Beyonce saying "OH NOT AGAIN?!"

it looks like "Nooo Kanye!"

just got that she's saying "oh, kanye!"

"oh kanye(paws)"

"oh, Kanye-paws"

oh balls...

lols

connect four is one of the best board games of all time

in all seriousness it looks pretty clearly like "oh my god" to me

megan fox is scarily unchanging in that gif

"very sneaky, sis!"

i wonder if they'll even LET ye go to the CMAs this year

"the emotion button, it does nothing!!"

in all seriousness it looks pretty clearly like "oh my god" to me

Your lips have to touch in order to make an 'm' sound unless you're a ventriloquist.
