Bish, Please
Kanye West should be banned from awards shows? Give me a break. Does anyone really believe that the producers of these things don’t absolutely love it when crap like this happens? It’s not like West doesn’t have a well documented history of showing up at ceremonies and acting like a douche. As if everyone would be standing around the water cooler talking about how awesome it was when Taylor Swift thanked Jesus in her acceptance speech if that hadn’t happened. The VMAs would have been an otherwise uneventful show if West hadn’t done what he did. Was he a dick? You bet. Should he be banned from awards shows forever? Only if the producers aren’t interested in the ratings.
The endless memes made it all worth it for me. I felt bad for her embarassment, sure, but whatever. I never would have watched the VMAs had it not happened. We got right on the DVR after it did – you’re absolutely right – Kanye is a goldmine for awards shows.
It’s funny that you mentioned thanking Jesus as my husband and I just had a conversation about how ridiculous and quite honestly = offensive that tradition has become. As if Jesus cares that you won a Video Music Award. Please.
Ha, that’s a peeve of mine as well. As if Jesus or God singles out individual entertainers to win awards. Yes, God personally picked YOU to win the Grammy, because you are better than the other nominees. [eyeroll]
Yes and sports and entertainment awards and championships are obviously way more important to God than oh say, natural disasters or personal suffering.
