he want recount! he want recount!
What a whiny bitch.
And now with video:
Turns out that, when he didn't win Video of the Year at the MTV Europe Music Awards, Kanye West stormed the stage, took the mic away from the winners - Justice and Simian - and launched a four-letter-word-filled tirade that he should have won because his video cost a million bucks and "had Pamela Anderson in it."
At what point does one feel such a sense of entitlement that it becomes alright to trample all over what might be one of the most important moments for other musicians? I can respect West's standing up for what he believes when he tells us that "George Bush doesn't care about black people" in the wake of Katrina. I can respect his calling attention to the blood diamond trade in his music videos. I'm left wondering, however, whether any of his bling is diamond-based despite his awareness that African children are enslaved and murdered by the ditchfulls for those shiny rocks. I cannot respect a whining, self-aggrandizing blowhard shitting on the accomplishments of other people in his field.
Can we take this event as a bouillion of American foreign policies and attitudes about American entitlement in the face of sovereign nations? Hmm.

This has nothing to do with this post, but I have to confess: As I flipped on the tube for some background noise, Rachel Ray was going to commercials. She said, while doing a fake snap and little hip move, "We gonna get our sexy back!"
Oh lord. It's everywhere, isn't it.

Ha! I did NOT mean to send you there. I meant to send you here: Bad Kanye.
And now he's blaming it on being drunk. Think he's considering running for political office?
What a jackhole. I heard the replay on the radio but this is 10x more embarrassing. You can actually feel him, on the fifth "Hell no", saying to himself, "Crap...how am I going to get off this stage? Maybe this was a bad idea..."
