What I want to know is why MTV is called MTV for? When all they do is play teenage reality shows?

Nothing, because she has manners. I'm not really even a fan of hers, but I felt bad for her having to deal with that over rated attention whore.

at least now we can identify those who actually watched the show.

the only way this can be settled is a strip off between Beyonce and Taylor Swift

It's mostly disrespectful to Taylor Swift and perhaps "country" music more than anything else, no way you would script something like this to take away her moment in glory.

According to sources at the VMAs, Swift was seen hysterically crying backstage after Kanye?s outburst, making it convenient that her performance of ?You Belong to Me,? which immediately followed the acceptance speech, was prerecorded. Wale, who is serving as MC for the house band, told the crowd, ?You can?t fault a man for speaking his mind,? which was promptly met by boos from the Radio City Music Hall crowd. According to our sources inside Radio City, Kanye was promptly tossed from the VMAs after interrupting Swift?s speech.

Awesome.

A set up just like during a fund raiser for the victims of Hurricane Katrina when Kanye said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." ?

Kanye is known for these outbursts. I don't think it was a set up.

He doesn't hold back, even if he sounds like a douche sometimes, he's not going to pull his words. I hate Beyonce and Taylor Swift so I can't really approve of what he did here. He's definitely entertaining.

this is at least the 3rd or 4th incident with him. There's a difference between not mincing words and being full of yourself. In this case with Beyonce, who are you to go up there?

The big picture is, Taylor isn't a typical MTV artist, and this incident will result in people who don't give 2 shits about her possibly buying her album. If she had won the award and nothing happened, the only people who would be bringing it up are Taylor Swift fans. Thanks to Kanye I wouldn't doubt if her album went to the top of the charts. Everyone will be talkin about this.
