FFS, she's not a "little girl", she's 19, she can vote for crying out loud. She's old enough to help decide a president but apparently she's too young and vulnerable to deal with a drunk moron running on stage.

Why is winning a VMA award such a significant "moment?" Sure, Swift was embarrassed onstage, but people are putting emphasis on this whole "oh, Kanye stole her big moment" jazz. This show, and the network, are not important anymore. It's just the annual scandal event that garners attention for the wrong reasons.

I guess cause it was her first and she looked so excited.

Well thats what was reported at the time. It's on this very thread at the start when it first happened

I'm fully grown and I can't deal with drunk morons

SoulAlive said:

Agreed.

Christopher said:

Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't have his own "Single Ladies" imitation video on YouTube like some of them did.

When Kanye is showing up on the red carpet with a bottle of whiskey in hand, management should have known, nothing good was coming of this.
Leave his pathetic ass home next time.

psychodelicide said:

Andrew Dice Clay got a lifetime ban for cussing on one their award shows. I guess the difference is that what Kanye did has no financial or legal repercussions for MTV. Only got a lot of people talking about it.

NDRU said:

And that was a long time ago....times have changed, my friend. People seem to get away with a hell of a lot worse in general these days.

JustErin said:

It was only in 1990 or so. That's, what, like 2 or 3 years ago?

NDRU said:

Hate to break it to you but 1990 was almost 20 years ago.

You're old.

And yup, big changes since then.

JustErin said:

I'm young & current compared to:

Jesus
George Washington
Lucy the australopithicus
Frank Sinatra
Your sexually dysfunctional boyfriend

That was either before or after Kid had whooped some dude's ass at a Waffle House. To all those who are saying that P!nk wouldn't have done anything, I suggest ya'll watch her E! True Hollywood Story because that girl don't put up with nobody's shit. If she wouldn't have laid his ass out right there, she would have done it after the show with help from her (ex?) husband. I wouldn't mess with her that's for damn sure, but I would totally have knocked Kanye's ass out and I'm Prince's height. I ain't afraid of that nucca that's for damn sure...please step to me Kanye; I want you to because slapping the dog shit out of Kanye West is one of the things on my bucket list. I seriously have wanted to smack the taste out of his mouth ever since he pulled the same stunt on the European VMAs a few years ago. Taylor should have at least tripped his dumb ass because someone needs to really hurt his feelings so he'll get that being an asshole is not a commendable quality or an actual talent.

NDRU said:

Wtf?

But how old are you?

JustErin said:

he's 30, too

This Just In...

Kanye West interrupted Patrick Swayze's funeral to say "Michael Jackson had one of the best funerals of all time!"

What an azz. I will say this... he would not have tried this stunt if it was Pink who won. She would have cold cocked his azz, right in the mouth.

BlaqueKnight said:

I think the bringing her back out was staged (matching outfits and Taylor all "omg can i do this again rofl") but I don't think the initial incident was staged. Kanye does this sort of thing all the damn time.

BlaqueKnight said:

interesting perspective

PaisleyPark5083 said:

Cognac, not whiskey.

BlaqueKnight said:

Taylor said that she was asked to wait backstage. That's why she wasn't seated.
It strange to see younger people so jaded to see it as a publicity stunt.

It's just a person behaving badly like a lot of his peers.I don't mean in the music industry, I mean his age group. They are just as uncivil and rude. They just aren't in front of a tv camera doing the same thing.
