"It's not all about you gay fish. It's so not." - Andy Towle reacting to the Kanye West - Taylor Swift incident

 

Towleroad is one of those blogs  that found its niche early and has delivered the goods consistently for years now, but this quote is the best sentence that Andy Towle's (assumedly) beautifully manicured fingers has ever typed.  Meanwhile, while I've never seen a Taylor Swift video, I can say that it's not just gayopic vision on this.  The Beyonce video delivered recognition in the form of countless parodies including the now-classic SNL Andy Samberg spoof.  So while Kanye West was probably in the wrong to jump the stage and act out, his opinion certainly shouldn't be invalidated so easily, despite the wonderfulosity of the invalidation. And the later vindication of the Beyonce video, and Beyonce's class act of bringing Swift onto the stage? Empty Vee at its finest, which makes me wonder if it was staged from the start. 

 UPDATE: The morning after: Oh, "gay fish". A reference to an episode of South Park. Oh.

Brit got no education

Does Britney have the brains, talent, or fierceness to make her own record?
No, I don't think so.
Is she a semi-attractive person with a job, much less an education?
No, I don't think so.
Is she a person with couth or morals who brushes her hair before performing?
No, I don't think so.
Does she even have hair?
No I don't think so.

Ms. Thing, Ms. Thing, Ms. Thing, Ms. Thing
Thought VMA's would a comeback bring.
Chose to lip-sync and not sing.
And wore little more than a bikini string.

Britney Spears got no show to give.
Britney Spears got no show to give.

Been four years since she had a job,
Up on stage like a big fat slob,
Chose not to sing and only sync,
At least she didn't show her famous pink.

Love yourself, love your spirit.
Love yourself, love your spirit.
Love yourself, love your spirit.
Love yourself, love your spirit.

Postscript:
1 - If the above lyric makes no sense to you, please, Get Your Education.
2 - Apparently MTV offers the embedding of the video, but doesn't actually provide access to it.  Hopefully the French-based Daily Motion site keeps it up for a bit.  Apparently those Viacom lawyers were up all night sending cease and desist letters as the only place to catch the "performance" is on MTV.com, but the site seems overloaded and the video is not playing. Yet another reason to decry the channel whose M once stood for Music.
3 - Had the performance been good, the lyric used would have been from LL Cool J instead of Uncanny Alliance.  Think on it.
