Kanye is whining again? Next you'll be telling me that Don Imus is being obnoxious.

Did you at least see last night's word on The Colbert Report?

I am surprised that it is not here. Very, very funny.

Cookie Monster doesn't even actually eat the cookie. He throws it to his left and just gnaws on his hands. That's bullsh*t.

Jerk.

I got a headache just from reading EVERYTHING IN CAPS ON KANYE'S RANT!!

See? Doesn't it just hurt your eyes?

I like how he mentioned that he got so mad that he almost broke his Mac Book Air. When people get that livid, do they usually mention brand names? Wouldn't "laptop" be just as sufficient?

It's a shame that I really like his music; and he's talented, but sometimes he just needs to shut the fuck up and let it go.

I fucking hate Kanye West too, I don't blame them for expressing it on the shit cans.

He blogs like a thirteen year old girl on xanga. OMG I CAN TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED WAS NOT MY FAULT IT WAS SOMEONE ELSES FAULT AND BLAH BLAH I'M A WHINY PUNK ASS BITCH WHO NEEDS TO BE BEATEN IN THE HEAD WITH MY MAC BOOK AIR (wtf was the product placement all about?)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brie, wassamattayou? You like repetitive bullshit of a high pitched piece of crap?

Sorry. I group him in the whole "trash" genre.

And after that...

I'm pretty sure the most exciting thing about my ten year reunion is going to be counting the pages of their criminal records.

Brie, I agree re: Kanye West.

I've never really understood his appeal, and hence cannot for the life of me grasp how he gets off feeling so completely justified being such an egomaniac. He set was 2 hours late at Bonnaroo. 2 hours! And he was supposed to start at 2:45 am! Yet, he freaks out that people were pissed off? Sit down, Kayne.

I'd rather listen to Spank Rock anyway.

Bump, bump bump. Bump bump.

That vid was great. Cookie Monster is my favorite Muppet EVER.

And on that topic, has everyone seen this?

Jason Bateman defends Juno in the midst of allegations of copycat teenage pregnancy

Is this the point where I mention that Juno had no intention of keeping the baby.

Or is this the point where I fantasize about moving to my own island and getting the fuck away from incurable stupidity.

... ahhhhh, so nice.

Okay, y'all? I just found out the most mind-blowing news and I NEED to share it.

Y'all know how Predator is the only movie in the history of movies that features NOT ONE BUT TWO governors?

Well, we just might be able to add, "...and a Senator!"

If you live in Kentucky, please vote for this badass mugglefuggle!

Jaci, when he puts his mind to it, Kanye can churn out some pretty good music (Jesus Walks, Diamonds from Sierra Leone) but he can definitely put out some serious crap. (Kanye's Workout Plan, Kiss the Sky with that syphilitic Pamela Anderson...shudder) I do hold him in a higher standard than most, artist-wise, but as a regular human being, like most people, I'm sick of his cocky-as-fuck attitude.

The best part of the Cookie Monster clip is the clip from Sesame Street where the Street folk are lined up like the idiots outside the NBC studios with "we love you Matt" signs. Proving once again that Sesame Street is the funniest satirical show on television.

Nice list TK. But no room for The Waco Brothers on there?

Brie: Agreed. Kanye is a good artist, but seems o think that he can use that as an excuse for being a grade-a wank. If he actually shut up and let his music speak for itself, maybe I'd actually buy a CD.

TK can't answer since Jon Langford has just garrotted him for A: not putting on one of his bands and B: not choosing the Old 97s album he guested on.

your commentary on WHAT IS THE WHAT, for fact you only read 1/2 of it shows that you were not paying attention. firstly, he is not from darfur... he was from another small town, marial bai, in a different but southern part of Sudan where christians are constantly persecuted by Muslims from the north... I was sick all weekend,(leukemia) and had a chance to read it between sleeping all day and all night. I finished it in 2 days, (5oo +) pages and couldn't stop reading it. The UN has maintained Kakuma refugee camp since the 80s and are still there... maybe you should get off your velvet couch or out of your bmw and really check out what this book is all about.It concerns more than one boy's year long trek across african jungles and deserts in search of his desire to live. Now in that camp there are 80,000 refugees with stories to tell like his and he deserves the acknowledgment of putting out his life's story to the world. What have you got to show for your life??????

Country music still sucks inbred ass.

I was at Bonnarroo and waited around 45 minutes for the Kanye show. At 315, after missing Talib Kweli who was at another stage, a buddy and I decided to catch Chali 2na, of Jurassic 5 fame. He brought down the house. He played for an hour and a half (about 30 min. less than Kanye), but started and ended on time. He didn't need a kick ass light show to impress his fans. Just a genuine love and appreciation for them. While Kanye was busy bitching about what happened to him instead of apologizing to his fans like a man when the show finally went on, Chali 2na profusely thanked his fans (a packed tent, spilling out into the grass beyond) and gave them an awesome show.
By the way, the spontaneity of the outrage against Kanye was somethin else...everyone just sorta agreed and felt it all at once.

On an unrelated note, does bluegrass count as country? I like some country, but bluegrass is the only type of truly love.

Um, I kinda nodded off, could someone tell me what the hell J. BARBIER is talking about? I was half expecting a weirdly spaced web address for some fetish dating site at the end, because that would explain a lot about the comment, but nothing.

The Juno thing really pisses me off because it's just one more example in a long list of situation where people don't want to take responsibility for their actions. Maybe, just maybe, instead of blaming movies or music for influencing your children's actions you might want to try taking on some of the responsibility of being a parent. Because there is something seriously wrong if your daughter had sex with a homeless guy in order to get pregnant. The orange tic tacs had nothing to do with it.

Agreed, Case. Now, J. Barbier. Ohemgee. The hell you talkin bout? Who's (not) from Darfur?

And ya'll have the right to your opinions about Kanye's music I guess, I just never ever ever liked it. Especially Kanye's Workout Plan. What the crap was that?

I never knew that cheesy 80's action horror movies were the prime breeding grounds for so many politicians! I think I've recognized the problem with this country. People are putting egotistical dumbshits with no political background in office.

Cause, you know, Guvner Ahhhh-nollld is da best guvner ever. Do you think he's the reason for all the wildfires? Maybe God's trying to smite him and keeps missing.

First: seriously? Showgirls on stage?? The movie that made me want never to have sex again (McLachlan & Berkely in the pool... gag me with a smurf, seriously) on stage, with music!? Awe. Some.

Secondly: Seriously? Empathy Deficit Disorder? Yeah, that's been around ahwile, it's called sociopathy.

Thirdly: Mmmmmmm, Jason Bateman. He was delicious before, and now he's even more delicious. (JTate, you and I are so on the same page with your comment.)

Lastly: I couldn't view the CM video, but Jerce, thank you thank you thank you for that link! that was possibly even more awesom than the idea of Showgirls as a stage musical.

a) Jerce, on the basis of his role in 48 hours alone I'd vote for Landham.

b) The list was in no means meant to be comprehensive (I think I mentioned that), so anything left off was not done out of disrespect. So settle down, Paddy and Jay.

c) Case, look out, your gratuitous ignorance is showing again.

d) J. Barbier is clearly insane.

e) Kanye is actually incredibly talented... he just happens to also be an unbelievable asshole.

and finally,

f) J. Barbier is clearly really insane.

No no, that's saying "bot" to me. But it bears further observation.

And hey, I'm not sayin anything, you just don't wanna give Jon Langford a reason. He's still pissed that Doctor Who slighted Leeds last week.
