On Sunday, September 14, 68 of my Facebook "Friends" (I use this term loosely) had something to say about the 2009 Video Music Awards.
At first I noticed the updates...
..."Wow, poor Swift."
..."I can't believe Kanye did that."
..."Way to go, Beyonce!" and even...
..."K.W. can blow me."
Having already had prior engagements with the Sunday night prime time line-up on HBO (and not really giving a you-know-what anyway), I had missed the VMAs premiere.
As it turns out, I really didn't need to see jack.
From the 15 minutes I spent updating my status and reading a few messages, I learned that when Taylor Swift came to the stage to accept her award for Best Female Video, rapper Kanye West stole the microphone. He then gave a shout-out to Beyonce, who won her own award later in the evening, and asked Taylor Swift to come "get her moment."
Needless to say, I've seriously begun thinking about canceling my cable subscription.

I agree. I saw this on the VMAs and it pissed me off. I feel that Kanye had no right to do this. I saw this on tv as well as people updating their status' about the situation. It's pretty crazy that only minutes after it happened, people were blogging about it. YouTube even had the video clip up online minutes after this whole ordeal. I felt bad for Taylor too. Haha I definitely wont be canceling my cable subscription, but I do feel the same way about this as you do.
