Oh man. This is brilliant. So you have an awards show that no one outside the 12-18 year old demographic cares about, and you want to get people talking about said awards show. So what do you do to get people talking again? You give Kanye West free rein, allowing him to do something like interrupt the MOST SACRED PART OF THE AWARDS SHOW--the acceptance speech.
It's pretty great. One, because you can pretty much assume Kanye's thinking to himself "f*** it, I'm Kanye West and this gal [probably not the word he was thinking of] isn't worth s***." Which is totally awesome. Second, this is what should happen at all minor awards shows. If chaos reigned, and something happened like an awards presenter decided to give the award to whoever they felt like... well, you'd watch that, right?
There's probably going to be some press release tomorrow about how MTV "regrets the decision that West made in taking the stage and regrets the fact that actions were not made to prevent this incident," but really... I wouldn't be surprised if MTV was getting bored and then told Kanye to go out and do something out there. Cause controversy = cash, and MTV most assuredly knows this.
Still doesn't beat the Jarvis Cocker/Michael Jackson incident in the mid 90's in pure awesomeness. Unfortunately I can't find a video of said incident.
