You know something is up when every single blog and forum you visit is bitching about Kanye West, or when half of your friends Facebook status updates are all bitching about Kanye West. Or when everybody on Twitter is bitching about Kanye West.

What are we bitching about now? I guess he took the microphone from some whore during the MTV Video Music Awards (commonly referred to as the "VMAs" in the industry) during her acceptance speech after recieving her award or something. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Granted, I hate Kanye West as much as the next angry blogger on the internet. The man has made his career off of being an asshole and attention whore, especially when it comes to the VMAs. This is the same man who was bitching and whining on-stage a few years ago that he didn't win a VMA. Keep in mind these awards are from MTV, whose movie awards a few months ago were swept by Twilight and High School Musical 3, which should immediately say something about how credible MTV's opinion about anything is.

So why do we care? What makes this relevant to our daily lives? Or is this simply another display of our society's infatuation with celebrity culture?

Oh wait, duh.
