American Priorities

What can I say, I was shocked when I heard this and maybe I am a little late but:

When did it become alright for young women to hope on stage at the motherfucking Teen Choice Awards and perform an act which is generally reserved for men in strip clubs? I don’t know how far this little debauchery went, but I’m ashamed that I didn’t see more outrage that this was planned for something shown on a children’s channel.

Flash forward to a few nights ago, Kanye West’s silly outburst at the VMAs, an award show that by all accounts is little more than a mid year dick measuring contest for the music industry. An industry which seems to have for the most part lost the idea of artistry in videos.

Kanye interrupted the show to talk about who he thought should have won and on the internet and all over the media blogs he has been getting blasted for being a cruel heartless bastard. This is only months after Zach Effron releases another set of his ex-girlfriend’s nudes to the highest bidder (Effron is supposed to be a children’s star too) and no one seemed to be upset about it. In fact they all seemed to rush to gather up the nudes.

But Kanye says something on a stage, interrupts an award show and he’s bastard of the year. Where was the outrage the when this shit happened at the Teen Choice Awards? Where were the internet watch dogs when porn of a barely legal girl got passed out?  Kanye didn’t whip his dick out, slap her in the face with it, he didn’t curse and he wasn’t all that rude to her in his verbal tone or the manner of his words (even telling her he did good) but something leads me to believe if he had fucked her, took pictures and posted them online it would have been more acceptable than this.

Although someone posted on another blog that they think all of this was motivated by the fact that she is a woman and he is a man and it perpetuates this male stereotype of the controlling man. Another person on that site claimed it was racially motivated…

I can’t decide, but I would have to say, its not the big fucking deal its made out to be and I am more worried about a sixteen year old girl pole dancing for little girls all over the country to see and Zach Effron peddling his ex out as porn than someone saying a few words on a stage.
