It shouldln't be so absurd to anyone how something on MTV would spark such an outburst from the Teenage community. The actual reactions were even more than expected. Guessing the percentages, i'd say 70 percente of all facebook news feeds right after Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift at the MTV VMA's were posting and commenting on posts that all said one of two things... "KANYE IS SO RUDE" (or something to the likes of that) or "HAHA KANYE" (again, edited and summarized). In an always connected world we live in this is such an absurd concept but its becoming less and less crazy... The part that drives me mad is the highly talked about twitter. The president of the United States couldn't even escape its reach when he was asked about the absurd subject. When a CSNBC reporter asked the president if he younger daughters were as shocked as the reporters daughters the president addressed it saying how they didn't aprove. KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS OFF THE RECORD. Then right after, the reporter asked something along the lines of why do you think he would do that? Obama replied... "He's a jackass." Obviously the president should watch what he says but in an off the record conversation he should have a little ley-way... Not the case when an ABC reporter twittered Obama's exact comments and i'm sure most people have heard how that story ends. One, it's amazing how many people get worked up over one egotistical event in pop cultre.. and two; the power of twitter hides from no one.
