Ok, first off. I did get the memo that we should refer to the "traditional media" as such, and as much as I didn`t wanna go along with it cause it just didnt have the ring of MSM, I went along. But damn. The MSM got played by MTV and damn if I aint laughing my ass off.
As much play as the "Kanye West" episode got played in the press... this was a publicity stunt played at its best.
Follow below the fold for the evidence...
First off the camera cut off at the moment that Mr. West jumped off stage (after sitting next to Ms. Swift in the audience before the announcement) and grabbed her mic. Looking at the stage you can see while she is giving her initial speech that there is something coming...
The most telling moment (which is left off of most of the presses coverage) is the finale.. when Beyonce gives up her speech to Taylor for her "moment in the sun"...
Notice they are both wearing similar dresses? Notice she came out ready to give the speech?
I think (and this is just my opinion as someone who downloaded and watched the VMAs tonight after seeing the media storm) that this was all a big publicity stunt (ala last year with Eminem and Bruno which was busted) yet was accepted by the MSM as legit and of course with the publicity (and we all know all publicity is good publicity) by MTV and the Video Music Awards.
Im just sayin...
