Seeing as how I work for MTV, I may as well make a few comments (er, questions) about last night's boring VMA's:
- Why did Beyonce look like the Cowardly Lion?
- Is Hooba-stunk too obvious a joke to describe their horrifically off-key performance?
- Where can I get one of LL Cool J's t-shirts with the TV in it?
- When did the members of Linkin Park get so fat?
- When will people realize that Ashlee Simpson shouldn't be allowed to sing in public?
- Why did The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne stoop so low to participate in the terrible show?
- What was Bruce Willis doing hanging around with P. Diddy? Is it now a law that if you were romantically involved with Demi, you have to be friends with Diddy?
- Why is Velvet Revolver good enough to be used in the music bed going to commercial (at 8:52pm) but not good enough to ever have their video played?
- When will the rest of the world realize that Polyphonic Spree sounds no better or worse than the music in Waiting for Guffman?
All in all, a very disappointing waste of 3 1/2 hours (luckily I didn't see the pre-show).
