Meltdowns

It may be Wednesday (technically Thursday) but I got a few things I have to get off my chest. First and foremost, fuck you Kanye. I like to keep the blog clean but I really can't think of more appropriate sentiments and gigantic middle finger to Kanye West. If you've been under a rock, this ultra-mega-douche decided it would be appropriate to walk (scroll to the 0:26 mark) onto the stage of the MTV Movie Awards and take the mic from 19 year-old Taylor Swift. Swift had just won her first award and was about to give her jittery thanks to millions of adoring fans when West waltzed onstage to relieve her of her duties. Thanks buddy. He went on to spew about how Beyonce should have won, etc. etc. We all know how talented she is and you think you are, but let the girl have her moment. While it was refreshing to have Beyonce call Swift back to the stage to say what she wanted before, the ignorance shown by Kanye is just incredible. The awards will not be remembered for what award Swift won (which was...?) but rather the arrogant and selfish actions of Kanye West. Way to go ass hole. Go bang your nasty ass girlfriend.


Speaking of women, a certain female tennis player made news for all the wrong reasons this past Saturday. I'm talking of course about Serena Williams tirade on a line judge during her US Open Semi-Final. On a day normally dominated by Michigan - Notre Dame garble and how badly the Big Ten sucks (namely Ohio State), we actually heard quiet a loud rumble from a place no where near the day's biggest games. Instead we heard quite a bit about Serena's epic flip out. While she isn't the first tennis star to lose their marbles at an official, it comes as a surprise from an athlete who is generally fairly mild mannered and polite. Telling someone you are going to "(take) this ball and shovin' it in (their) fuckin' throat" is hardly lady like. But I guess when you're pissed you say things you don't mean. I've done it. Hell Obama called Kanye a jackass. I'm sure those two are tight.

To crucify Williams is a bit harsh. Most of the media has given her the chance to apologize, she even went on Good Morning America for her "I'm not that much of a hormonal bitch" tour. Her accolades are endless and for the most part she keeps her mood in check. Although this is a fairly big slip-up, it did cost her the match and rightfully so. To hang this over her head, though is unfair to her and the graceful game of tennis. At least Roger Federer kept his cool.
