I suppose it is worth noting that there are NSFW images and links here.

Oh, exploitable

Yesterday (September 13th, a day that will live in infamy for the next few weeks), during the MTV Music Video Awards: Kanye West made an ass of himself… again.

Here’s how it went down:
Taylor Swift won some manner of award on the 2009 VMAs for having a video that no one probably saw because MTV stopped playing music videos several years ago.
She arrived on stage to take the microphone to make her thank you speech.
Kanye West – proud non-reader of books – then invited himself onto the stage, took the microphone, and proceeded to inform the audience that Taylor would be allowed to finish, but Beyonce had one of the best music videos of all time.
While that may or may not be true, this has since sparked a rather large kerfluffle over what a massive, unrepentant douchebag West continues to be in the face of all rational thought.

More importantly, this has spawned a new image macro, and a less funny, but undoubtedly more popular, video featuring President Obama’s recent speech, and big to-do after a reporter spilled through Twitter (and later retracted) that Obama called West a jackass for interrupting Ms. Swift like that; the audio on that conversation has since leaked to the internet.

Without further ado: The Interrupting Kanye.

ULTRA MEGA IMPORTANT EDIT: VKlaus found the winner of the Kanye meme.

Whether or not this fledgling image macro becomes a full-fledged meme is hard to say. The event is so mainstream the enjoyment factor may be lulzkilled by media coverage burnout, resulting in premature death.

It’s already spread to twitter in the form of a user image overlay put out by twibbon which – while an appalling amalgam of words for cutesy trend purposes – is kind of an interesting tool. It allows you to sign up and “show your support” for a variety of causes or trends by the use of automatic user pic overlays. In this case, it’s a headshot of Kanye West with “Ima let u finish”, effectively blocking out the person’s userpic altogether.

And Colbert hopped on the let’s-make-fun-of-the-village-idiot wagon on Monday as well. Colbert uses his character’s over-inflated ego to counterpoint the absurdity of over-inflated ego, making his jab cast a much sharper relief on the utter ridiculousness of the entire situation. The thing I enjoyed most was that he actually focused on giving some props to the actual award winner, Taylor Swift, who really deserves far more attention than the assclown that interrupted her anyway.
(P.S. Speaking of Comedy Central, I totally beat CCInsider to this meme story by a good 3 hours. Just remember, you heard it here first, folks!)

A favorite site of mine, teefury.com, also got into the action yesterday when they debuted their one-off shirt: “I hated Kanye before hating Kanye was cool”. The truth of that was almost enough to make me break my “no slogans on shirts” rule. Soup.io user Amsterdam was smart enough to capture the design before the opportunity to buy the shirt was gone. (They do a different design every 24 hours, and ONLY for 24 hours.)
