Wild Wild West


I don't watch award shows on TV. It's a publicity venue invented by a business to further promote itself and overpaid, spoiled, under talented people as they congratulate each other. Besides, there was a football game on NBC. I say it was a football game, Bears fans may disagree.

Getting back to the awards show, the VMA on MTV where Taylor Swift won an award for best female video. As she accepts her trophy, gavone #1 - Kanye West takes the mic from her and tells us that Beyonce's video was one of the best ever made. Swift did the best thing possible: nothing. That's right. The crowd booed West. See video, below:



Well......"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom." Translation: If Viacom can't make any money on it, you can't see it!

(I'm thinking, Taylor: knee to the crotch.)
Beyonce later won an award and invited Swift, on stage, to finish her remarks. Classy, but I still don't watch awards shows.
