The VMAs: What Can We Really Say?

A lot of people have asked us what we think of the VMAs and if we're going to post on it. I'm not really sure what there is to say that hasn't been said already. Kanye West is a huge tool who does douchey stuff...that's not really news.

It's unfortunate that he humiliated Taylor Swift, who had no control over winning the award and was a really improper target for a point well taken, but they weren't going to give Best Female Video to the winner of Video of the Year. It's like Kanye's never seen an MTV award show before. Oh, but wait, he has, he disrupted one in 2004. And seriously, the VMA's are just not that important as far as awards are concerned.

In fact, they're so unimportant that the ratings had slipped pretty badly in recent years (only 6 million viewers in 2006 where it used to draw 12). It needed some sensationalist press and 2 simulcasts to reach a cumulative audience of about 11 million. I'm not so sure they didn't do it all for the YouTube hits.

Also, Kanye, what the hell is going on with your hair?
