The VMAs, True Blood, Mad Men, and the Pack

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (100)

Good afternoon, folks. It’s time for another edition of Pajiba After Dark, which serves as a reminder of tonight’s TV highlights and gives you a space to discuss them, before, after, or during the air times. I’ve trust some of you have had a decent day of football watching, while others of you do whatever it is you do on Sundays. Quilt, I guess.

Here are you highlights:


7:00

— “Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins,” over on the Cartoon Network.

— “Football Night in America,” on NBC, in case you haven’t had your fill yet.

8:00

— “King of the Hill” one-hour series finale over on Fox. So long, Hank. You hung on about three seasons too long.

— “Bears vs. Packers,” on NBC. My prediction: Packers 35, Bears 17.


9:00

— The MTV Video Music Awards. What? How can they award trophies to something they no longer air? Man alive, though. There was a time when I wouldn’t miss the VMA’s for the world. Now, I didn’t even know they were airing until today.

— “True Blood,” second season finale over on HBO. I honestly don’t understand the love. Everybody hated it last season, and now it’s suddenly the biggest show on pay cable.

— “Bridezillas” on WE. Just cause.

10:00

— “Hung,” the first season finale on HBO. I nearly gave up on this show, but it’s gotten progressively better.

— “Mad Men” over on AMC.

10:30

“Entourage,” over on HBO. This is the one where they don’t do anything.

My week has not yet started and it's already much improved.

Apparently, yes, so don't get too attached, hon.

Posted by: Jerce at September 13, 2009 5:26 PM

What you mean "everyone hated it last season"?! I thought it started slow, but I loved it from the beginning.

If I had a cock True Blood would have rocked it off by now.

Posted by: AlexaCastro at September 13, 2009 5:38 PM

Hmm, apparently my tv has been accidentally cut off for over a week now, and I didn't even notice. Hooray for alcoholism! I just read the VERY ANGRY EMAIL WITH THE ALL CAPS from my flatmate, but she can suck it because her and her boymanpig have been grossing me out all day with their sex noises and by going to the bathroom together.

Sorry for the overshare but I'm ever so glad it's off my chest. And now back to your regularly scheduled discussion of tv programmes I don't know and/or can't watch!

Posted by: Pants at September 13, 2009 5:38 PM

We'll be watching the football game. GO BEARS!!!

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits (aka Dangle McGee) at September 13, 2009 5:47 PM

I will have you know I quilt on Sunday night. For real! I mean, sometimes we call if "fiber arts" if we add beads and stuff, but otherwise it's old-timey cutting & sewing. I mean, if you don't count the Chinese food delivery and that I have a sewing machine. Keeps that modern teevee thingy available if there's ever another Mr. Star who wants to watch football or other things on Sunday night.

But, Pants, you make me appreciate even more that I like living alone. And I like "boymanpig" - might use that.

Posted by: staramour at September 13, 2009 5:51 PM

I mean, I must really mean it. Sorry, I thought it sounded repetitive, but didn't catch until after the post.

Posted by: staramour at September 13, 2009 5:54 PM

Packers! Rodgers! Hoo! Hoo!

Posted by: commanderfunky at September 13, 2009 5:55 PM

"while others of you do whatever it is you do on Sundays.."

How about planning your brutal demise, funboy?

Anyway, it's all about King of the Hill and Bridezillas as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, and you need to cap that shit off with Amazing Wedding Cakes.

Maybe you should get a stunt-cock.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 13, 2009 6:05 PM

I'm barely capable to sew on a button, so quilting (is that a word?) is very much out of my league. Do you make anything specific staramour, like themed quilts or something? I admire you sunday creativity. All I do on sundays is play hockey, drink, and sleep. It's heaven!

Posted by: Pants at September 13, 2009 6:06 PM

Bears for life, motherfuckers!

(There are no fucking sports teams out here, what else am I supposed to root for? The Albuquerque Isotopes (actual team name)?)

Posted by: George at September 13, 2009 6:07 PM

FOOTBALL!
And now the Bears and Packers fans start to come out of the woodwork. Much like termites...
Being in Chicago, I should probably watch the game, if only to teach my girlfriend more about the game of football. Although what will probably happen is that we go to Baker's Square and get pie. Because pie is always better than football.
Seriously. Compare the two right now and tell me I'm wrong.

If you don't mind terribly, I'm going to steal and then wear the shit out of that saying, AlexaCastro.
We haven't even finished the first season over here in Blighty, but I love it in all it's soap opera glory.
And I don't know how long I can last until the latest season of Mad Men finally makes its way over - although there is a small amount of comfort that Doctor Who is slowly making it's way ever closer... I need my fix of stern men in suits.

Posted by: Squeeziee at September 13, 2009 6:18 PM

Yes, indeed, Pants, it's called quilting. Strictly speaking, the part I do is called "piecing" because that's the cut-the-fabric-into-pieces and sew-it-back-together part. The quilting part is making the whole shebang after the design (top layer) is assembled, with the back layer (typically one single fabric) and the puffy stuff in the middle called batting. When these three layers are together, they are called a sandwich (yummmmmm, and I'm hungry - the Chinese food isn't here yet). And the sandwich is quilted.

I make quilts b/c I like having a tactile hobby. I work in a lab, so it's nice to have something stick around after I spend so much time on it - can't really expect a lab report to keep me warm. I also make bags, dresses, and skirts. Maybe I need to make some pants!

Posted by: staramour at September 13, 2009 6:22 PM

Shit pie isn't better than football. Unless you're a Bengals fan. Then the shit pie might be better.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits (aka Dangle McGee) at September 13, 2009 6:44 PM

My roommate is a Bears fan, so I'll be watching that while trying not to fret about McNabb's rib injury. Alas, I don't have HBO, so I'm going to have to crash my best friend's apartment some time this week to watch the finale.

Dustin, the show started shakily last year, but it ended pretty badass. And this season is fucking AWESOME.

Posted by: Julie at September 13, 2009 6:48 PM

Isn't anyone watching the tennis? Federer's absolutely killing it today. Shame I have to watch it illegally with Russian commentary.

Posted by: Caspar at September 13, 2009 6:59 PM

Excuse me, your prediction does not indicate what the score would be if the Bears were playing a hurricane.

Caveat: It is Hurricane Ditka.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at September 13, 2009 7:21 PM

It would still be Human Ditka, Hurricane Ditka is only Ditka by name.

...Or probably a draw.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 13, 2009 7:25 PM

One Word: FEDERERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Also, I don't see how you could continue to suffer through 'Hung' and not give 'True Blood' another chance. I begin hyperventilating in anticipation of every new 'True Blood' episode hours before it airs, while I've only stuck it out with 'Hung' through the sheer power of Thomas Jane's giant schlong.

Plus the fact that every other episode or so, he says, "I just want my kids back", and I cackle like a mental patient while my friends stare at me, worried.

Hooorah for illegally "rooting for" badass vampires. I would "bloodbag" these creatures anytime.

Posted by: The Gemeinderat at September 13, 2009 7:31 PM

I second the love for Defying Gravity. It almost replaces the hole in my heart that was meant for Virtuality.

Posted by: Simone at September 13, 2009 7:32 PM

Gemeinderat, have I mentioned that I adore you? Because I do. :p

Ok, back to Some Like it Hot while waiting for Da Bears.

Posted by: Julie at September 13, 2009 7:35 PM

I think Dustin is the "everybody" who hated True Blood last year. I'm pretty sure the Pajibettes were (ahem) sucked in since the first season. I may not have gotten my cock rocked off, but something's abuzz in my panties.

And I'm obliged to tape what's sure to be the Godtopus-awful VMAs so I can try to see my brother at the Muse show.

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 7:44 PM

True Blood!!! Yeah

I.Cannot.Wait.

Posted by: ashes at September 13, 2009 7:50 PM

It's tall, hot, and Swedish, right?

Posted by: Lauren at September 13, 2009 7:51 PM

You know it Lauren.

I gotta run to my bunk now.

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 8:06 PM

Like Cindy, I'm also taping the VMAs, but I'll be watching Muse instead of looking for her brother. It's their first ever US TV appearance! Which is oddly exciting to me!

But I'll be damned if I'll watch it live. I'm watching one of the Futurama movies in the meantime.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at September 13, 2009 8:08 PM

I have a confession. *whispers* I do not find Eric attractive. Not at all.

Don't worry I will be showing myself out now.

Posted by: ashes at September 13, 2009 8:10 PM

Mel, my brother is so damned excited about that show, I can't even express it. We have that I like Radiohead better - he likes Muse better thing going, though he's pushing me hard to see his side of things. He actually won his tickets. Fucker. I never win anything. Well, to be fair, I've won like the two dollar lottery or something. Anyway, I will be checking out Muse in the interests of opening myself up to them more.

ashes, are you completely alive? Are you sure?

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 8:24 PM

I have a confession. *whispers* I do not find Eric attractive. Not at all.

But . . . . but . . . shoulders! Blonde hair! Lips! Tank top! Shoulders!

To each their own, I guess.

SHOULDERS!

Posted by: Lauren at September 13, 2009 8:40 PM

Maybe it's all the alcohol, but I actually appreciate this VMA opening. Respectful, powerful, not looking like a shitty MTV product at all.

Posted by: Matt at September 13, 2009 9:06 PM

What Lauren said-SHOULDERS. Oh my GOD.

Posted by: Julie at September 13, 2009 9:07 PM

Ugh, I'm sorry but just because they're "celebrating" and rocking out to Michael Jackson's music does not make my generation any less than an enormous group of douchebags. Suddenly turning up Thriller or saying how much you loooove Billie Jean does not make you some sentimental "true fan." Putting all of his music on your ipod doesn't- IS KATIE PERRY SINGING QUEEN!? What the fuck. I hate the world.

Posted by: Erin S at September 13, 2009 9:14 PM

This VMA production has been a train wreck so far (after the MJ tribute, which was not horrible).

Poor Russel Brand, he is dying out there with this audience.

Oh well, let's see how the Bears are doing. Also, Top Gun on AMC.


Damn, I wish Bubblegumshoe would have remembered to return the Netflix movies.

Posted by: Yossarian at September 13, 2009 9:29 PM

Okay, I've always loved Kanye West, but I swear to God I will never again buy another thing of his. That was just an absolute assholish move.

Posted by: Matt at September 13, 2009 9:30 PM

Oh, Kanye. You and your incessant quest to be the world's biggest dick pickle.

Posted by: Lauren at September 13, 2009 9:32 PM

King of the Hill finale SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED.


I'm seriously putting Mike Judge on my shit list.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 13, 2009 9:38 PM

Why didn't you remember the dvds, Yossarian ?

Also, Taylor Swift sucks and Russell Brand is drowning in a sea of blank faces.

Posted by: bubblegumshoe at September 13, 2009 9:39 PM

Perhaps I've dissolved the universe into too simple of an equation, but Russell Brand wouldn't be sucking if he didn't suck.

Posted by: Matt at September 13, 2009 9:44 PM

Audiences made up of contemporary "artists" are the absolute worse. They are humorless asswipes for the most part.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 13, 2009 9:44 PM

Yeah the shoulders are good. The blonde hair though I think is what does me in. I like the dark haired males. Also, he was an uber-douche in the first season.

Don't get me wrong, I love the mens but meh, he just doesn't do it for me. I saw a paparazzi shot of the man and frankly I am pretty sure the man is gay.


Aaaannnd I am quickly going to be one of the most hated 'Jibettes. I should leave,right? Okay I am sorry I will leave.

Posted by: ashes at September 13, 2009 9:45 PM

i've been watching the VMAs on mute but listening to the hedwig soundtrack quite loudly for my age.

it's making for a much better experience than what's going on in nyc.

Posted by: gp at September 13, 2009 9:46 PM

The Chicken Ranch Gordita is $0.89?

So, they named their taco after a famous brothel outside of Las Vegas? Nice marketing, Taco Bell.

Posted by: Yossarian at September 13, 2009 9:48 PM

I thought the series finale of King of the Hill was cute. I hadn't watched in years and I was glad to watch. Kinda random that I caught it.

WTH was Kanye West doing on stage!?! Also Russell Brand better appreciate my love, I cannot believe I am sitting through this.

Also the main reason I decided to chime in was to yay for Nathan Fillion and his shiny new Emmy. Good for him Dr. Horrible was awesome!

Posted by: Mebe at September 13, 2009 9:49 PM

Aw, Ashes, you're still cool. You'd have to run over a basket of puppies or . . . link to another picture of the centipede people for anyone to really hate you.

Posted by: Lauren at September 13, 2009 9:50 PM

Yossarian, random true story, but I worked for the county that processed the work cards for the prostitutes at the Chicken Ranch. (yes all prostitutes are mandated to be licensed in Nye County Nevada. It's what makes it legal there) Anyway I ran the cards for every woman in that joint and I will tell you (if you haven't already been a customer) those women are not the cream of the crop, they are the bottom of the barrel, well in short; those are some scary looking bitches.

Posted by: ashes at September 13, 2009 9:55 PM

I was only watching for Lady Gaga. At first, I thought Stefani was bombing so hard. But then I remembered how when she was at NYU she played at clubs and it was like she tried to bomb so hard, and then at the end the blood came out, and I realized it was brilliant.
Okay, maybe not brilliant, but I liked it. Even if I didn't like the way she sang Paparazzi.

Posted by: Matt at September 13, 2009 9:56 PM

OK, good ending, but most of the show was a bit of a cheesefest.

And NOT ENOUGH ERIC!

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 9:59 PM

Did anybody else notice Megan Fox mouth "..they said his name before me"? Obnoxious cunt.

Posted by: Mrs Featherbottom at September 13, 2009 10:00 PM

I walked out of my room to my roommate watching the VMAs. Lady Gaga. With a chick in a wheelchair. And an arm brace. And blood. and her leg up on a piano. And frantic, possessed eyes in an epileptic head. What. The Fuck.

Also, Eric was greasy and unattractive on the one True Blood episode I saw. Out of character and clothing, with a haircut? Not bad. But come on, are vampires afraid of styling scissors? And shampoo?

Posted by: SaBrina at September 13, 2009 10:03 PM

I'll do him dirty, SaBrina.

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 10:04 PM

Bah. I'm watching the Second Doctor fend off the Cybermen.

Posted by: Jay at September 13, 2009 10:19 PM

For the record, seriously? Did none of you see this happening? For Christ's sake people, Kanye + MTV Awards Show + Microphone + Camera = Random Acts of Douchebaggery. You brought this upon yourself.

Hey George, watch it with the ripping on NM!
Go 'Topes!

Posted by: Alarmjaguar at September 13, 2009 10:30 PM

Yeah you can get the Chicken Ranch Gordita for all of 99 cents. I pulled up to the window of my local Loose Bowels and asked if the guy was for reals about all that deliciousness for one low price. He said yes, I offered head. My heart is whored to Taco Bell at times, that’s why I try to limit my consumption to once a month because once you pop you end up in a gutter at 4:00 am wrapped in Hard Taco Bell Taco papers and those witty little hot sauce packets. Emmm, Taco Bell- now my mouth is watering damnit.


Posted by: Jasper Buckleman at September 13, 2009 10:32 PM

I am so Beyonce'd out. And is the air-humping necessary?

Muse is awesome though.

Posted by: bubblegumshoe at September 13, 2009 10:36 PM

Agreed, yay Muse, such a nice surprise.

Posted by: Mebe at September 13, 2009 10:45 PM

Well, I spent the afternoon with some tiny tots, to borrow a phrase, so I spent the time watching Thomas the Train DVDs and then something called Franklin on something called Noggin. So. My brain is mush. (On the plus side, the bedtime stories we wanted were "Pooh invents a game" and "The Cat In The Hat", so that was fun.)

All I have to say is, SAAAAAAAIIINTS!!!

Oh, and also, I need to find that Lady Gaga performance. STAT!

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 13, 2009 10:45 PM

pooh invented a game?

why isn't that already one of a billion facts fighting for its next slot in my stream of thoughtiness?

Posted by: gp at September 13, 2009 10:55 PM

AvB, my son is obsessed with all things Thomas. And welcome to the world of Noggin.

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 10:56 PM

hello, CINDY. good to see you.

oh hey, gp, didn't see you there, standing RIGHT NEXT to Anna.

hmmph! i never!

Posted by: gp at September 13, 2009 11:03 PM

Damn right Kanye!! Let whitey know that this is the dawn of a new age. We’ve taken over the White House and now we’ve taken over the VMA’s and next we’re going for the holy grail, the CMA’s!!!

Posted by: Guess Who! at September 13, 2009 11:06 PM

gp, we must have posted at the same exact moment.

How's it hanging?

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 11:07 PM

:) i'm working on a way to get time to go just a little bit slower so monday will be that much further away.

Posted by: gp at September 13, 2009 11:10 PM

Oh come on Pookie, that shit was just fucking rude.

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 11:10 PM

Send me some of that magic shit too, will you?

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 11:11 PM

Too many shits - what I meant in the second post was, send me some magic stay away Monday stuff, gp.

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 11:17 PM

now *that* would be illegal.


but stop by if you're ever in the neighborhood.

I didn't think Alicia would be able to walk away from the piano in those shoes. And hey, what's the Cowardly Lion doing at the VMAs?

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 11:27 PM

His music reached millions. His dick reached a few too.

Posted by: Cindy at September 13, 2009 11:29 PM

Can I please sum up the VMAs? I watched it with a 14 year old, who sat there texting about it on her iphone and would only mutter "they're all balls" every now and then (her favorite word now: balls. I'm a great mom).

Anyway: outside, random people with mikes, none of whom I know, interviewing people who act bored. Except Taylor Swift, she was just goofy, as a 17 year old should be.

J-Lo being interviewed: Oh yeah, I have a new album coming out. A new single is coming out. Um, yay? So look out for it. Anyway you bore me, I'm out.

Then to the show! The pre-show was so long, my old ass thought that was the whole thing. Taylor Swift got best female video and as she was saying "thank you, I never imagined this--" (literally y'all that's all she got out), Kanye Klassay West ran out, grabbed the mike from her, and started yelling about how Beyonce shoulda gotten it.

Shot of Beyonce looking a TEENY bit mortified. Shot of Taylor Swift looking sad and stunned and staring at her award and for a hot second, I thought she would burst into tears and give it to Beyonce. People boo Kanye.

Kanye "Douchebag McToolBox" West runs off stage like the pansy-ass pansy that he is and they start up the commercial music and Taylor Swift, still stunned, is escorted off stage. Later on, someone probably said to Taylor, "don't worry honey, he does that to EVERYONE."

Let's see, what else? Beyonce's musical number was about 49 minutes too long. WTF? Seriously? We get it with the hair and the unitards and the crotch swiveling and humping. We really get it.

Lady Gaga: slowed-down version. Freaky eyes. Playing the piano in such a way that big globs of her ass and legs were squishing out of her hose thing. Then she's bleeding! Oh my God, she's bleeding! In case you didn't notice, she's smearing it all over herself! Then ah! The paparrazis KILLED HER! She's hanging by this strap and has a gross bloody contact lens in one eye.

She kinda freaks me out.

Later, she's shown sitting in the audience dressed as a red horn. That's the only way I can describe it. No, a red furry horn.

Ok I'll admit it, I was glad when that guy from the Matrix movies, Neo, won something over Kanye. Yay!

Um, then I got sort of bored with it all and wandered away. Sorry.

Oh! I liked Green Day! But that swatch of blonde hair over Billy Joe's ears made him look like an elf.

The kid tells me Beyonce was classy and asked Taylor Swift to come up and give her speech when Beyonce won for Video of the Year. Yay Beyonce and your boob tapin', crotch swivelin' self!

Anywho. Um, you guys need to get with Misery Mondays. Or Misery Nights, as we call it. Intervention, which will make you cringe and cry and then all warm and happy (usually) and Hoarders, which will just make you cringe and scream and HORFK! It's all on A&E, Monday nights.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at September 13, 2009 11:38 PM

taylor swift doesn't annoy me.
because she acts like a teenager.

as opposed to a stripper.

Posted by: gp at September 13, 2009 11:46 PM

WTF like 2 minutes of Eric in True Blood finale.

My masturbation tonight will have to be a sad, short 2 minutes. sigh.

Posted by: Julie at September 14, 2009 12:04 AM

Like any red-blooded American male, I had no idea the VMAs were on tonight because I spent the last 10 hours immersed in an orgy of football...the way all Sundays in the fall should be spent.

Posted by: Fredo at September 14, 2009 12:18 AM

Also, FUCK the Dallas Cowboys.


Oh shit, sorry, thought I was in the hatred thread.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at September 14, 2009 12:20 AM

Kanye West is definitely fighting back to claim his title as biggest Colostomy Bag in entertainment. When Spencer Pratt said he was the King of America, I thought he was just full of shit enough to take the C-Bag crown, especially since this Federline wannabe has never done anything in his life that shows he is talented or even worth pissing on if he was on fire. Tila Tequila and the Kardashians think he's a publicity whore.

But here comes Kanye. Puff Daddy 2.0. The biggest ego in music. All sound and fury signifying crappy CD's. Way to be a tough guy, picking on an 18 year old girl to spout an opinion that no one wanted to hear. I would rather have Paula Abdul as my sobriety mentor than to have to listen to one more of this reverse racists' bullshit rants.

Kanye West does not like white people.

It all makes me so tired. I've been sick all day and therefore watching TV. I'm tired of the Terrell Owens' and Chad '85's. I'm tired of seeing people on my TV that haven't done anything to merit my interest. What the fuck is a Lady Gaga? There are much better looking trannies out there, right Skitz?

It always seems that the biggest names on shows like TMZ are the least talented. I never saw Paul Newman getting shitfaced at the China Club and starting a fight. I know more about Joe Francis (who I know has a special place in Hell already booked) than I do about Martin Scorcese. The Hurt Locker is the best movie of the year, but a Tyler Perry movie will surpass it financially in a weekend. I'm tired of mediocrity, can't we all just stand up and say no more to this? That we as a group deserve to be challenged and not always be treated as the lowest common denominator? Challenge us, we just might surprise you.

Until then, fuck off Kanye.

Posted by: Rubble44 at September 14, 2009 12:51 AM

Kanye West got the Louis Vuitton logo tattooed all over his wee wee ballzack. Truth.

Posted by: Secret Ballz at September 14, 2009 12:58 AM

I will certainly agree that Madam Knowles (regardless of any previously held notions of her possession of a soul or lack thereof) was quite classy in her actions. And Kanye was indeed an asshole of the highest order.

It was funny when he pulled that crap on Mike Myers. But he forgot Rule #1: Never, ever, EVER scare the little white girl. Just don't do it.

Kanye West does not like white people.

Well, very few black people do like white people. Sad, but true. Just because a black guy can make it down the street without calling you cracker doesn't mean he likes you.

That said, he is just an asshole. One who knows that he gets more attention for his outbursts than he does for his music. So he plays the role of the egomaniac to the hilt, because that is what people want. They don't want to see some fake-ass smile that he had to force onto his face after a loss. They want drama and controversy.

But this was the Queen Elizabeth of royal fuckups.

I vote to boycott all current TV tonight in favor of watching Doctor Who, because David Tennant's eyes can make me cry. And right now that's more cathartic than watching Bridezillas (cos ew) or writing crappy poetry (which is what I was doing earlier. I'm going through a phase. Hopefully it passes before I actually decide to throw away my life and concentrate in English)

Poor Russel Brand, he is dying out there with this audience.

Well, for one thing his humor depends on self-awareness, ridiculous excess, and being able to tell the difference between the two. That audience fails on all counts.

I watched an embarrassing amount of Doctor Who today. Lord bless housesitting someplace with BBC America AND a DVR. Oh and it's conveniently dreary outside. Perfect sci-fi gawking weather.

What would you say the chances are of us all, black, white, yellow, red, bonding together in mutual agreement of Kanye West being a prize twatwaffle?

Likewise, what would you say the chances are of Beyonce absolutely beating the everliving fuck out of him? Because she strikes me as the kind of woman who will not tolerate this kind of bullshit. I think he ran off stage like that because he realised he'd better get one hell of head start while Beyonce was busy waiting for her awards.
Give it three days and this sort of footage is going to be on the internet:
Dark room, Kanye, cowering in a chair, with Beyonce's back-up dancers on either side. Off camera, a woman's voice, identified only as 'Miss B', speaks.
Miss B: 'What you got to say, asshole?'
Kanye spits out a tooth before saying: 'Yo, Taylor..'
Miss B: 'No!'
With perfect timing, the backup dancers simultaneously punch Kanye on either side of his head. He reels, screaming, and spits out blood.
K: 'No! Please, don't hurt me no more, Miss B. Please!' He's now crying
Miss B: 'Then talk properly, you hear me, motherfucker? Or I'm gonna have to be the one to teach you some manners.'
K: 'No, please! Miss Swift, I am deeply, truly sorry for the disrespectful way I acted at the awards show. I would also like to apologise to her ladyship, Beyonce Knowles, for any embarrassment I caused her. Miss Swift, I hope you accept my apology.'
Miss B: 'What do you say, Taylor?'
A young female sobs, and whispers. 'It's fine, Miss B. I forgive him now. Please don't do what you did to him before, I think you made the baby Jesus cry.'


Fuck, I don't even like Taylor Swift. I've been known to scream 'BECAUSE SHE PUTS OUT, THAT'S WHY HE DATES HER!' at the radio during one of her songs. Kanye fucking West has made me want to hug her. Hug somebody who, judging by her songs, probably thinks Twilight is the best book ever. Fuck you, Kanye.

"...what would you say the chances are of Beyonce absolutely beating the everliving fuck out of him?"

I'd have to go with slim to none, seeing how she's used constantly as a punching bag by her thug living boyfriend.

Vermillion you racist asshole you, your true colors are finally coming out. How can you not like white people? They introduced us to cruises before they are fashionable, now everyone wants to go on one. They introduced us to hammocks so we could swing in trees at our leisure, they gave us the biggest and sweetest of all the fruits, the watermelon. You need to open your eyes Vermillion, white people are the tits.

I had a woman's kind of Sunday: sex and shopping.

I missed the VMAs last night bcause I figures that I could just catch all the interesting parts on the morning news and YouTube. Man, was I right. There is absolutely nothing better than starting a Monday morning with a little maternal scorn from Robin Roberts directed at Kanye West. Multiple times. Awesomeness in a tea cup. I don't think Colostomy Bag even begins to describe the massiveness of his shit-baggery. What kind of teeny-peeney picks on a 19-year-old girl in front of millions of people?

Maybe if every media outlet ignored him and refused to give him air time he would go the fuck away.

On a related VMA note, I totally need to see that Lady GaGa performance. That sounds like my kind of batshit.

I'm fully aware I may lose Julie's undying love for me over this but I'm with ashzzzzz and SamygirlBrina on this one. I'm tired of the Viking mode. I wouldn't push Eric off my bed but I guess I've got too many of these specimen in Germany and we all want what we can't have.

On a different note, Kanye is a douche. Taylor is as clever and as interesting as a puzzle for a 3-year-old. But I would like them to hook up after this. It would heal his broken heart and she could do something interesting for once, like developing a Stockholm sydrome. Wouldn't that be awesome.
Plus, Kanye's got the shoulders. And he's black. And with this shirt he had on he could qualify for the "Five Actresses Who Range From Horrible to Decent And Look Great In Leather-Substitute"-thread.

Jerce,
yay! That is indeed good news. Much deserved, too.

Hee.

I don't understand making the Kanye West thing into a racial thing. It was a "total lack of decency" thing. End of story.

Rude is rude is rude, doesn't matter what color you are.

And I know black people who do like white people. I know white people who like black people. I'll stop before this starts sounding like a goddamned Dr. Suess book, but what's with all the generalizations lately? Hell, there are black and white people who, I know this is gonna blow some damn minds in here, LIKE EACH OTHER ENOUGH TO HAVE BABIES. I know, right? KRAZY!
