OMG Kanye is such a DIIIIIIICK!!!!

Hey Kanye disrespected Taylor Swift. Cue the angry white kids and very tasteless and offensive racial slurs on Facebook/YouTube!!!!!
All of this could very easily have been avoided if stupid Taylor Swift simply hadn't handed the microphone to Kanye. What did she think was going to happen? Also, why was he even allowed on stage in the first place? Are people just allowed to run around all over the stage at this kind of event? Is there no security? Also, poor little victim Taylor Swift could have saved the moment by maybe saying something funny. Or sarcastic. Or mean. OR SAYING ANYTHING AT ALL. But rather than try and run with it--which is what most entertainers are trained to do--Taylor just stood there like a made-up deer in very bright headlights, as 0.3 percent of America looked on IN SHOCK!!!!!!
Some people "in the business" are saying that Kanye's move was a "career-killer," and many posts on message boards around the cyber net threaten a boycott of his music. Hmm. Everyone slow your roll for a minute. What Kanye did was stupid, rude, immature, etc. But is it really grounds for BOYCOTTING his music???? The entire night was dedicated to Michael Jackson, a CHILD MOLESTER--a man who (more than once) committed acts so evil and reprehensible that people who ARE convicted of the crimes (i.e., people whose net worth is below $1 billion) are essentially forced to wear a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives (introducing themselves to their new neighbors as a sex offender). But does anyone have a problem popping "Thriller" into their tape deck? Madonna spent the first ten minutes of the show awkwardly apologizing for Jackson's inability to keep his hands off of our children's cocks, claiming that he led a very hard life by virtue of his not having a childhood. Indeed, there may be a psychological explanation for MJ's antics (if you can call sucking off little kids "antics"), but does the fact that there IS an explanation excuse his behavior? We could say the same thing about Kanye: he's an insecure short man with a Napoleon complex who is still dealing with the unexpected death of his mother, and the only way he knows how to do this is by acting out for attention. Perhaps when he dies he will be forgiven (hopefully by Madonna!!!), but until then I guess his record sales are going to suffer because Taylor Swift couldn't think quickly enough on her feet.
By most accounts, Kanye West is a hip-hop legend. He is responsible for some of the best musical acts/moments of our generation: he resurrected Jay-Z's career by producing a bulk of "The Blueprint" and bringing soul back into hip-hop; he put on Kid Cudi, John Legend, and a re-invigorated Common, all of whom have made spectacular music and won several awards under Kanye's stewardship; his first two albums are generally accepted in the hip-hop canon as some of the best and most original rap music ever produced. The man is--like Michael Jackson--a tortured genius. But with people this talented, you tend to take the good with the bad. This is not the first time he's acted out, and it probably won't be the last. But hopefully people can see past his public displays of idiocy and keep supporting his music, because the music that he does make rarely disappoints.
Lost in the shuffle of all of this is the fact that Beyonce somehow lost in the category of "Best Female Video," but inexplicably WON "Video of the Year." So, does this vindicate Kanye? But more importantly, how is this even possible? So her video wasn't the best video by a female artist, but it WAS the best overall video? It literally makes no sense.
