So I guess by now everyone in the world (at least the free world) has heard that President Obama call Kanye West a jackass because of his stunt at the VMA awards recently. I don't normally watch the VMA, not because it's not cool or interesting but I just never know when these stupid award shows are on. Who can keep track of them all?
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Namely - is it appropriate for a sitting president to call a celebrity a "jackass"? Or is that completely out of line? Whether you think KW really is a jackass or not is another matter, right? I guess he was just not getting enough attention and decided it was time to hijack the show. Or maybe that cognac was starting to hit him, after all I think he drank about half the bottle from the looks of the "pre-show" video I saw.
The saddest part about this whole fiasco, is that Taylor Swift really hasn't gotten nearly the attention she deserves. After all, she did win the award! But no, all people are talking about is the big jackass KW is. I would say he was a jackass, but I have a feeling it will happen again, proving that he is indeed the jackass everyone thinks. Even President Obama!
I'm really trying not to rant here, but what is it that makes people do things like that? I never was one to grab the spotlight, in fact I have stayed away from attention my entire life. I actually associate attention with trouble, as in "I'm in trouble if I get too much attention". Probably from my school days, getting in trouble being the class clown and all. Yep, I learned my lesson well - get too much attention and you go to the principals office. Maybe KW never learned that lesson?
I hope someday he does, but I have my doubts. Anybody want to weigh in on this, please do...
