Jackass
Kanye West is a jackass. So says the President of the United States and so say we all! That, my friends is the reason why “jackass” is etablog’s Word of the Week. It defies logic that one person can cause such silly controversy for a slightly less than earth-shattering event.
If you haven’t heard, read or seen the faux pas, then you might have been living under a rock for the past day or so. And you can consider yourself a very lucky person. As for Mr. West, he rudely interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards show to declare that Beyonce’s music video should have won.
Now in this time of economic woes and continued unsettling news coming out of places like Afghanistan, you could forgive “Hollywood” for wanting to have a day of narcissistic celebration. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but when the US President has to take the time to answer some wannabe journalist’s question about “Kanye-gate”, you start to wonder.
Perhaps Kanye should be banned or suspended at the very least from attending these events. I believe that this is his second outburst in such a situation. But that would be a silly idea, now wouldn’t it? Why on earth would you bother to watch these shows, without all the controversy? You could even be convinced that this might be one of those stupid publicity stunts if only Kanye West wasn’t at the center of it all.
