Leave it to McEwan to find the pepper in fly shit.

The brouhaha over West-Swift raised by PUMA-like personages annoys me as much as Schuster (filling in for Olbermann) conflating this and the screaming Serena Williams with the lack of civility demonstrated by Rep. Joe Wilson.

Really?

I’ve rewatched that video three times this morning for those of you keeping track at home.

Greatest. Music video. Ever.

Melissa McEwan: Showing the world why a certain class of “feminist” writing never gets taken seriously.

Fully 23% of America’s total agricultural output is produced by Ghetto Farm Snapmasters.

I buy all of my organics from Funkenfield’s Straight-G Harvest Hang-Out. Good shit.

But isn’t that always the way, when a woman (especially a woman of color) self-subjugates in order to atone for someone else’s mistakes? Wow, how classy! What a class act! Every time I hear those words, I just cringe—because I know I’m probably about to hear a story that reduces at its essence to a marginalized person having properly demonstrated “hir place.”

An established artist who’s won many awards very graciously allows a young artist to share her limelight and McEwan barfs out this ridiculous mess.  Apparently being a nice person is nothing but “self-subjugating” now. (Whatever that is).

It’s not that Kanye’s self-defeatingly impulsive, it’s that autotune makes you think everything that comes out of your mouth can be fixed in post.

This is why I stay perennially behind-the-times with pop culture. Everybody that’s been on Kanye’s jock for the past couple years has to deal with how his meltdowns reflect on his artistry, but not me. I’m just now discovering PM Dawn (not very good, but you have to know their output in order to get one of the best jokes in “Fear of a Black Hat.”).

Someone at Shakeville tallied up the huge number of how many acceptance speeches Knowles has already given at VMA and it’s pretty obvious she’ll get over it (especially considering she walks away with the unofficial “hero of the night” award. Now I see they’re dubbing Swift for being ungracious in the comments there because she didn’t give the mic back to Beyonce.

Unbelievable.

I guess I should start a best music video of all time thread. You guys have nominated some very good ones. I’d never seen the “Big Train” video before.  That rocks.  Even though I mostly try to focus on posting new videos these days, back in the day I posted a bunch of my favorite older videos. I’d have a hard time picking an all-time favorite.

Who the fuck are these people? All of them, who the fuck are they and why are they featured on the Best Small Blog in the blog universe? Who the fuck is Taylor Swift, or Zack Glafiniankingias or Kanye West? What the fuck kind of name is Kanye anyway? Tell me why I should care. I feel like one of those dipshit tea baggers who is not sure what I am supposed to be against or why, so just give me a prepared sign and tell me what to yell and to whom I should direct my yelling.

Kanye had one of his songs on Glee for chrissakes! Phfft.

Thanks for the video. I feel all jiggy now.

If you’re going to make such a big deal over something like music videos - an award? Televised everywhere? Sure - go ahead and make a big deal over the award the show’s about.

Doesn’t mean I have to watch the show or click the link to this video. Happy to have avoided both.
