Crybaby West
Kanye West put the "assy" in "classy" this week in Copenhagen, where he threw an onstage hissy fit for not winning some MTV Europe Music award for something or another.
In a tirade riddled with expletives, West said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."
"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," West said.
There's so much to unpack in so few lines.

First, we're not sure the words "Pamela Anderson" and "credibility" are fit to be delivered in the same sentiment. Second, this was the best video award: this was not a video about your moves, your look, your album or even your songs, K-West. This is for best video. Third, no offense to the fine organizers of the MTV Europe Music Awards, but this isn't the Grammys. Or the AMAs, for that matter. Fourth, when Jaded Insider created the $12 million video to our hit single "This Blog In My Heart (Beats For You)," we didn't expect praise or awards: we're just happy we're, like, making art or whatever, y'know?
