Yeah, Kanye I was fine with, since he's awesome.
But are these morons in the crowd seriously waving THEIR CELLPHONES?!?!
I'm done with this show. No more flipping back and forth between the Closing Ceremony and this. Olympics all the way from here on out.
Oh yeah, and the VG Soundtrack nominees are embarassing.

This is quite possibly the worst show they have ever done.. bad production values (are these groups even BOTHERING to try to sing or just going to lip synch every damn thing, Usher I'm talking to you), boring as all hell.
Hell, even Chapelle seemed restrained... and you could tell he just wanted to rip into the whole arena filed with B list, poser musicians who sound like shit outside a recording studio. And why is if you are an attractive woman and are a musician you have to dress like a total skank? At least Alicia Keys (a very beautiful woman in her own right) seemed to have a bit of respect and dress pretty classy compared to the rest of the gutter sluts in attendance.
Why do they even bother anyway? It seems pretty damn hypocritical for a station that plays NO FUCKING MUSIC VIDEOS TO BEGIN with, to have awards to cater to the 4 or 5 flavor of the month artists' videos. Hey, at least that kick ass Franz Ferdinan video won something. I see it on Fuse, don't know anything about the band or their music, but yet am captivated to watch the video. It's almost hypnotic. Al the shapes and the techno retro things going on.. its like an orgy for the mind of someone with A.D.D.
EDIT: Is there any real reason they are forcing this "vote" shit down our throats? Look asswipers, if I wanted to vote for either of these morons I would do so on my own, not because some dipshit who got lucky and gave a blowjob to the right record exec says so.
And having the daughters of both said morons on just pushes it home. WHAT THE FUCK DO I CARE ABOUT THE WORDS OF SOME PAMPERED, SPOILED LITTLE RICH BITCHES!?! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OFF MY TV!
For the record.. I'm taking the BRewster's Millions approach... and voting....
NONE OF THE ABOVE!
Fuck em both, neither have the best interests of the American public in mind anyway, just their own political agenda. But in this case, I'll sway slightly for the evil I know (Bush), as apposed to the evili I don't (Kerry aka Mr. Heinz). Besides, if the republicans go through with their plan of abolishing the IRS, I would publicly felate the PResident for saving me $200 every 2 weeks.
GIVE ME A NATIONAL SALES TAX YOU FUCKS! AND STOP TAKING MY MONEY SINCE I SEE NO RESULTS ANYWAY!

Wow, someone at MTV must be reading this thread...they whipped up a five second Ray Charles tribute just to help SKluck out.

How the fuck did Yellowcard just win an award over both Franz Ferdinand AND Modest Mouse?!
Yellowcard > FF > MM
I was only able to survive it for about half an hour, because the cute girls across the hall invited me in. Then they mentioned menstrual cramps, and I left.

WARNING: If you don't want to see anything dealing with thing the least bit political, move on.
Metatron how so?
At the very least flat tax us. Me being a young, 20 something lower middle class person, means I get taxed to hell and back and can't afford a good tax lawyer to keep the money that I earned in the first place.
There are serious talks of totally eliminating or substantially reducing the IRS. The tax code is WAY too conviluted and gives the wealthy numerous loop holes and shelters so they can keep their money, while we the lower and middle class have to shoulder the burden.
And to be honest, I see little if not any return on MY investment. I have no problem with you taxing what I earn if I see a return on said money. I want to see people with healthcare that need it, I want the elderly to be properly taken care of and not have their medications overly priced (i just lost a grandfather to diabetes, mainly due to he couldnt afford his medicine anymore), mainly I want to see more jobs and services be created for those who need it. I work in the county seat where I live and see far to many who abuse the system (getting food stamps while they whip ouyt a roll of 20's and get into their new Escalade), and those who truly NEED help not get it.
Another point of possibly doing a National Sales Tax is this, your common person (not me) since they have more money, they will spend more money. Therefore putting more money into the coffers of the government and getting us back to being a respectable country. We are a consuming nation, and when you give the people their money back to them, they will spend it.
Imagine the possiblities of say a %3 tax on anything (except food) that you buy. Don't you think at the end of the year that the taxes brought in would be MORE than they got from income taxes? It would be.. no refunds to dish out, no overpaid goverentment IRS paper filiers to pay, no check processing to pay for(shipping costs money you know), nothing. Reduces the government, makes 99.9% of peoiple happy, and makes life a little easier for most. Granted it will probably put most accountants out of business, but it's not a perfect plan.

I watched 5 minutes of the show...Stevie Wonder was cool (Lenny needs to disappear for a few years), and after the break they brought down Paris Hilton and Nick Leshay..and then some terrible nominees for best group video (i'm looking at you, Hoobastank and Good Charlotte). Then...I turned it off. You can do it too.

Damn. So this is what music has evolved into? I haven't watched an MTV music awards show in a long time, but what a shitty selection of music. I can't believe this garbage wins awards. Each genre is filled with nothingbut crap. I mean there are some alright songs here and there but come on. The BEST? Fucking sad.
