A Rude Interruption at the VMA's

I don’t know if you watched the MTV Video Music Awards last night.  I didn’t, but it didn’t take me long this morning to get the down low about what happened last night.  Among some of the more “interesting moments of the evening include the wild theatrics of Lady Gaga and the riot starting antics of Green Day.  The incident that has the most attention, so much that it was on the home page of CNN.com earlier this morning and it is probably one of the more talked about things on Twitter.  The amount of video blogs on YouTube and probably written blogs as well (including this one) have talked about what happened and most that I have seen all support Taylor Swift and describe Kanye West as a “jerk”, among other things.  (To find out what happened, here's one of the videos.  Hopefully it works.)



Personally, I was stunned when I heard about this and I was really glad that I heard that when Beyonce won her award later on in the evening, that she gave up her opportunity for a speech and gave Taylor another chance to give her acceptance speech.  (After all, it’s not like Beyonce hasn’t given those before.)  All in all, I hope all effected parties can move on and not dwell on the mistakes made. 


And for the record, Kanye did feel bad afterwards and apologized on his blog (in which he said he would apologize to Taylor directly).  Let’s hope that does some damage control for what cred he has left.
