Oh my God! How could he do that to her?! (re: Kanye West and Taylor Swift)

It's a circus. Lady Gaga pulled up in a neck brace with Kermit the Frog. P!nk (ugh) did a trapeze act. Jack Black got people to pray to Satan to plug a video game. They endearingly refer to their awards as Moon Men for Christ's sake. 3OH!3 performed. Cobra Starship attended. Katy Perry covered Queen! The three (three!) movie trailers got better crowd reactions individually than all of Russel Brand's coked out jokes combined. Never mind the fact that the only time you can see a music video on MTV is from 5:00 to 8:00 AM, this one( Taylor Swift's, Beyonce's, etc.) is important!

We're broadcast a live feed of the legendary Music Television devouring its own rotting corpse, and people vote for Lady Gaga via mass text message. People hoist Billy Joe Armstong above their heads in some kind of ill-advised exhibition of spontaneity, relevance, or maybe (hopefully?) human sacrifice. This is their entertainment, this is their celebration of culture. They enjoy this. Do you?

Want to know why what Kanye West did was accidentally amazing? Because it was a helpful reminder that the people outraged by it, this apparent desecration of a shiny network astronaut and Leann Rimes' little sister, believe that their feelings are genuine.
