Pain don't hurt, little hand says it's time to rock and roll, SWAYZE IS DEAD

I have no problem with Leno calling Kanye out like that, dude's been a major douche for quite some time.

GRMike

WME co-CEO Dave Wirtschafter represents both Kanye West and Taylor Swift...

So like if you didn't know this was a publicity stunt from the start ala Emenim getting Borat's balls in his face then joke's on you?

The_Scarab

Oh yeah. I'm not defending the guy. He is a jackass. I'm just sayin'.

Just sayin'

DrZiplock

There was no way this was a publicity stunt.

GRMike

Except for the fact they have the same publicist.

DrZiplock

Right. I got that.

It means exactly jack shit.

Yeah I don't buy that either. Kanye is always bitching about himself or someone he wants not getting an award.

Also, the Eminem/Bruno thing was revealed to be a stunt in less than 24 hours as it was impossible for it to be anything else.

babyeatingjesus

if that was a publicity stunt it was so fucking genius we all need to submit now and do whatever PR firms tell us to.

GRMike

Zip, that is some naivety you got there.

The_Scarab

Though to be fair, I think someone mentioned earlier in the thread. Presuming that Kanye wanted a new edgier public image, everyone in this thing came out looking great.

This, however, is a notion I can get behind.

On bended knee before me now, plebes.

the only defense I can muster for either of these things being real is do you believe any of these people are that good at acting?

For that I turn to Kanye on Leno. He looked pretty taken aback and somber at that question.

Aside from your same publicist theory, you got anything else in your conspiracy file that backs you up?

GRMike

Taylor Swift looks like a victim. Sells her Albums. Kayne West continues the wildcard semi-retarded antics. Sells his albums.

WME has two of there HUGE clients on the minds and lips of every talk show and facebook post for the next week and a half. Mo' money.

I'd say the two people involved having the SAME public representation is a big fucking piece of evidence.

Well if the Leno thing is part of that or a comeback with a softer, gentler Kanye then that is all ready to go.

Here's what you do Kanye, go out and be a such a jackass that it gets the nation's rapt attention, Leno's going to bring you back down to earth hard using your mom, you come back and do your public appearances with that softer more generous air that we've been working on.

I dunno, that's kinda like saying that the government was behind plane-striking both the WTC and the Pentagon, just because they're both in america.

Spoiler:

Yes, I did just compare this Kanye West thing to 911, but in my defence, I'm more than a little sleep deprived, at the moment.

GRMike

Thank god I read your spoiler.

Also, this is the most I've even thought about this situation all week and I don't plan on wasting any more time on it.

Beyonce also manages to look like the queen of grace and poise after inviting Swift back up, Leno scores 18 million viewers with Kanye (booked well in advance of this) on his first show.

MTV VMAs get massive attention, score huge ratings build interest for next year. There is not one single soul that is walking away from this any worse for wear.

Well if it was a stunt I find it unlikely Leno would be in on it. The dude has plenty of money and he pretty much does what he wants.

Whether it was arranged or not, everyone involved in this entire fuckup has come out with more money and more fame.

I mean shit, the fucking President of the United States of America called Kanye West a jackass. You can't buy that kind of publicity.

Kanye can't outdo his RS cover in that regard. His image is plenty edgy.

but NBC can always use another 18 million viewers. All Leno has to do is play along and he gets cred for calling out Kanye West.

Also I mean, Kanye also has plenty of money, but everyone can always use more if they've got the balls to do something like this.

DrZiplock

Yea, WME is one of the largest talent companies in the world. Their roster is deep, really deep. So having two people involved in something newsworthy that both just happen to be on their client list isn't anything special.

Still going with there is no way that this was staged.

babyeatingjesus

Going back to the Eminem/Bruno thing again, it would be in Eminem's best interest to go with the "it was staged" thing so he doesn't look like a prick again.

Grey Ghost

Guys, I have a hypothesis:

Kanye West needs to be shot in the face

I know it's somewhat radical, but I am confident that I have devised a very effective way to test this hypothesis

GRMike

Has he never not looked like a prick?

Edit: Not Kayne, Eminem.

That Elton John thing helped a lot, I think.

I wasn't only referring to his gay bashing.

No it was in everyone's best interest to go with the "it was staged" thing because it would have been sexual assault had it not been.

I believe this is something that I can easily get behind. GRMike, shall we shake hands on this proposed notion and call it a day?

There is no way the Kanye thing wasn't about publicity.

no i think the question is whether or not Beyonce, Taylor Swift, MTV, NBC or some combination thereof was also involved. I don't think anyone is under the impression that Kanye was acting out of passion for Beyonce's art.

Why not. I'll get the first round.

Edit: of drinks... I'm a pacifist.

satansfingers

why would anyone think this kanye thing was staged. he does this shit all the time. that's just who he is. he also had drank half a bottle of henny by that point.

apparently in close ups the bottle he was "drinking" from was still capped.

satansfingers

it went in at one level and left at another

he was drunk when he jumped on stage after justice won their award too

if you have never gotten drunk and then proceeded to repeatedly attempt to drink from a bottle that turned out to have the cap on, you are a better man than i

No but Kanye has a complaint at every award show he's at even when he wins. He's the type a guy that would be personally insulted because he thinks Beyonce should have won and MTV's judges or viewers or whatever don't agree with him.

GRMike

I love you satans.
