today’s rant: the video massacre awards, originally 9/10/07

first thing's first:  you should know that i did not watch the VMA's last night.  in fact, i can happily say that i haven't watched MTV in over a year.  i feel like a recovering alcoholic who has accepted jesus christ as my personal savior.  it's a lovely feeling how clean your conscience can get just by blocking a channel on your tv.  therefore, without watching one full minute of the show, i feel qualified to give my opinion about it.  if that sounds hypocritical, just remember:  priests condemn homosexuality and a woman's right to choose without ever having been gay or a woman.  yet, somehow, they consider themselves the moral authority over the subjects.  you figure it out, because i can't.

can someone please explain to me what the fuck a quadruple threat award is?  this isn't a rhetorical question.  i want someone to honestly tell me what it is and what constitutes nomination for this pile of shit.  i'm going to take a wild guess.  considering timberfuck won it, i'm guessing it's lip-syncing/dancing/beatboxing/self-prostituting.

there is no more viewer's choice award.  so to all of the MTV viewers, MTV does not give a shit about your opinion about the best music video anymore.  no more MTV2 award.  i'm not surprised because something tells me that the only thing on MTV2 on now is wildboys.  let me check...no, some show called "scarred".  i'm guessing it's a "jackass" wannabe.  yeah, so anyhow, not even MTV2 plays music videos anymore.  hence, no award.

there is no more rap, hip-hop, pop, rock, RnB, or dance video category.  that's 6 genres of music flushed down the toilet.  why?  now i know why kanye west was so pissed off.  he doesn't stand a chance if his music doesn't even have a category.

did you notice that the only award with the word "video" in it was "video of the year"?  that kinda implies that a network that started out playing music videos has stopped giving out most of the awards for music videos.  i feel dizzy just thinking about it.

since i didn't watch the show, i didn't see britney spears' performance.  something tells me that ignorance is bliss in this case.  from what i've read on the internet, there are mixed reactions.  some people think that her performance resembled shit.  there are other people who believe that her performance is a detriment to the word "shit".  honestly, i don't know why everyone is so surprised.  you knew exactly what was coming:  the same exact routine we've seen before, except 4 years older and 2 children later.  now you know better.
