Kanye West

Okay, I start a blog, of course I have to talk about the most Tweet'd/YouTube'd/anything'd thing right now. Before I start of I have to say: people, really, it's the VMAs. And really; who gives a fuck about the VMAs? Well anyway, for those of you who have been living under a rock for the past 24 hours (i.e. people who have lives), Kanye stormed onto the stage during Taylor Swifts acceptance speech for Best Female Video or something of that nature, and he proclaims "Beyonce's video was one of the best of all time!" and he runs off and Taylor Swift looks all shocked as she is escorted off stage by MTV officials I am assuming.

First off I'm just going to come out and say it; Kanye was right. Beyonce should have won. Hell, MTV even confirmed this when they gave her "Video of the Year" which opens up the question as to how MTV calculates this stuff. But there's something everyone is forgetting. Kanye is not a douche by birth. He is a douche as the result of his environment. You see, it was MTV who made Kanye the way he is; back in 2004, when he lost Best New Artist to these guys:

That's right. He lost to Maroon 5. MAROON. FUCKING. FIVE. How could any human being take the spit in the eye that is "Hey you're good enough to be nominated, but you are not as good as Maroon 5". Seriously, the man is scarred. There's no reason for him to not act this way. Should he have got on stage and stolen Taylor's moment? No, of course not. Should he have lost to Maroon 5? No, no one deserves that. Not even Kanye.
