I'm by far a hard ass but if I was making videos and and trying to market myself to the masses and awards shows I suppose I would have went nuts and at least got in his face and told him to fuck off! I mean picture it, there you are your friends, family, and most likely PARENTS are watching you onstage along with millions and your gonna let some private schoolboy who produces whack glitter hip-hop come up and ruin that for you? Of course he picked on them! I know what people like Kanye think of people like your friends group. He felt like he could just overpower them and they gave it up. I dunno.

I think the last time I watched an awards show was when someone like Guns N Roses won and I couldn't picture Kanye screwing with them!

Yes, I dislike Kanye West. He is in a position to speak his mind and he says things that everyone else already knows and gets branded as a revolutionary!! Yes, I along with over 50% of Americans dislike George Bush. We don't need to hear it anymore. I'm so sick of seeing the bumper stickers and hearing the jokes. I guess I've always been pretty good at ignoring things I dislike that I have very limited or no control over and instead just wish they would go away...

the thing is that if my friends had replied in an unfriendly manner, ppl would have said that french people were arrogant.

plus i think it's rather easy to say how you would have behaved in this situation, but once you in front of the cameras it's a different story.
you know, it's this kind of moment when you think for hours afterwhile "i should have replied this and that"...

Bingo

I would've, should've or could've but really it's hard to say

at first it doesn't look like Kanye's coming out to dis but then it progressively turns into a dis and at that point it's over...

but really Kanye looked like the idiot and your friends did the right thing, really there's was no right or wrong for them to do - know what I mean

what if they had responded with a bunch of racial slurs and epitaphs like Micheal Richards did - DOH!

I suppose in regards to the cameras being on aspect of it. They just didn't say anything and let Kanye make an ass out of himself. That's fine and all...

As far as "French people being arrogant" part who cares. There's a lot worse things one country can be called! Everyone thinks us Americans are all like Bush or Kanye!!

I think they handled the situation perfectly and I'll always remember them, especially when they said maybe it's time Kanye stepped down and let someone else have a chance. He acted like such a dick. To go from the media's darling to being the butt of Justin Timberlake's jokes made him his bitch!

This is a wind-up, surely? It's the only thing I've seen covered from the whole sorry ceremony. I can imagine much backslapping in the pr department for whoever thought it up.
enough with the damn t-shirts...

Just got back home from a Kanye West concert.

Show was good. And an interesting bit was when his DJ cut from Kanye into the Justice track that won the video award. I laughed but nobody around me in the show made the connection.
