Hey Kanye, That Was Rude
Dear Kanye,
I’ll keep this short, because EVERYONE and their enraged grandmother has been calling you out for your complete lack of self control at this year’s VMA’s. Crashing the stage, swiping the microphone, and butting into Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech and then using your words to steal her spotlight and verbally punch her in the face is a really, really, REALLY jerk-like move. The adage, “better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt” comes to mind…as does Katy Perry’s tweet accusing you of “stepping on a kitten.” Nobody likes people who deliberately step on kittens.
I’m glad to see that you’ve apologized, like, fifteen times already, but—as a general rule—it’s usually better to behave yourself than apologize for being stupid. Just ask your PR manager.
Look, I hope people forgive you, but more importantly, I hope you learn to control your tongue. You’re a passionate person—that’s great (and I think we can all agree that Beyonce is a superstar)—but let’s make it a point to use our passion and use our words to add to people, not subtract from them. Deal?
In the meantime, expect consequences. For example, jokes at your expense. With a little help from kanyelicio.us—a brilliant, timely, and well-deserved “tribute” to your big mouth—I decided to give your website the Kanye-at-the-VMA’s treatment. I hope you find it hilarious.
Behold: kanyeuniversecity.com…with a twist.

His apologies weren’t even that great either. He would say sorry and then say that he pretty much meant what he said. He expected Taylor to hand over her award because Beyonce deserved it more, just because he’s handed over awards to people he thought deserved it.
It was her first award, to my knowledge. He doesn’t need to expect people would do as he does. If that was true then we’d all be butting into other people’s proudest moments. We don’t need the world run by millions of Kanye-Jerks.
