   Hi everyone! Man this sucks. I have a call into our tech department.

2. by Dickdogfood at 10:58 am

   ARRRGH. I feel for you people. ARRRGGH.

3. by Maura Johnston at 10:58 am

   So, the West Coast broadcast is just starting!

4. by Maura Johnston at 11:01 am

   Wait, no it isn’t! WTF

5. by Maura Johnston at 11:01 am

   Christ, this fucking day. At least the Mets didn’t get swept.

6. by NeverEnough at 11:02 am

   You all tragically missed out on at least 50 Jonas Brothers related posts which reveal me to be the pedophile that I am.

7. by Maura Johnston at 11:03 am

   And here’s Lil Wayne!

8. by Maura Johnston at 11:03 am

   He’s wearing will.i.am’s hair though.

   God I hate Kid Rock

10. by loudersoft at 11:04 am

    When the comments thread died I stopped watching the VMA’s and watched the new episode of Entourage.

    Now…what…the…fuck…with…kid rock…and…lil wayne

11. by Maura Johnston at 11:05 am

    Wait, what’s up with the minute counts? Is this the influence of Los Angeles’ local news?

12. by Maura Johnston at 11:05 am

    THAT’S THE SAME PEPSI SIGN THAT IS RIGHT NEAR MY APARTMENT

13. by Maura Johnston at 11:06 am

    I wish MTV had had someone remake “Bad Boys” for that commercial.

14. by NeverEnough at 11:06 am

    @The Van Buren Boys: Me too. *rushes off to gather a bottle, gas and a tampon to make a Molotov Cocktail. I’m going to set fire to something to protest The Jonas Brothers tragic VMA loss*

15. by Maura Johnston at 11:07 am

    I like how the aesthetic MTV’s ads is 100% ripped off from Hipster Runoff.

16. by The Van Buren Boys at 11:07 am

    In all seriousness, this has been a horrible show. It hasn’t even been entertaining a trainwreck way, but really really boring.

17. by The Van Buren Boys at 11:08 am

    @NeverEnough: If you’re going to set fire to something/someone, might as well make it Kid Rock. Two birds with one stone right there.

18. by NeverEnough at 11:09 am

    @The Van Buren Boys: Yeah. Christina Agulera (sp?) was pretty good, though. But there haven’t really been any memorable moments.

19. by Maura Johnston at 11:10 am

    Ew, Kobe. Was LeBron not available?

20. by NeverEnough at 11:10 am

    @The Van Buren Boys:Consider it done. (And, really, I come from a long line of Southern white trash. I have a minimum of 4 uncles who could BE Kid Rock. I honestly don’t get the appeal).

21. by alec_baldwin at 11:11 am

    @The Van Buren Boys: It is really bad. At one point it appeared like the ads were better than the show, but they’re redundant.

22. by Maura Johnston at 11:11 am

    The interstitial graphics are pretty great. MORE MOONMEN FEWER SCHERZINGERS

23. by Maura Johnston at 11:12 am

    And lo, the cycle to redemption is complete.

24. by loudersoft at 11:12 am

    Ok. Officially? Fuck this. Huge setup for Britney. Goodnight.

25. by alec_baldwin at 11:12 am

    Britney, you’re in shock? I’m speechless.

26. by Maura Johnston at 11:13 am

    Well, it’s nice that America is ready to build back up whatever it built up and tore down. Bodes well for all those McMansion developments that aren’t sellling.

    Oh Kanye, don’t sing. SAVE THAT FOR DYLAN.

27. by Maura Johnston at 11:14 am

    I can’t believe Cisco Adler and Shwayze lied to me :(

28. by Maura Johnston at 11:15 am

    Maybe Bob is one of the backup dancers?

29. by Maura Johnston at 11:15 am

    Um, is this song going to go anywhere? Or is this another one of those tracks that “kills in the club”?

30. by The Van Buren Boys at 11:15 am

    @Maura Johnston: Yeah but we’ll build Britney back up just to tear her back down again in a few months. Just like the eventual downward spiral of Miley Cyrus.

31. by loudersoft at 11:15 am

    @Maura Johnston: Bastards!

32. by Maura Johnston at 11:17 am

    The fireworks AND the sonic dynamics were much better at the Hollywood Bowl last night.

33. by The Van Buren Boys at 11:17 am

    Seriously!?! Kanye finally gets his wish to close the show and he rolls out that pile of crap.

34. by loudersoft at 11:18 am

    Did he really just say Hare Krishna?

    Heh.

35. by NeverEnough at 11:18 am

    Good lord. That was amazingly underwhelming.

    I enjoyed everyone’s comments tremendously. Good night, all!

36. by jopari actually likes the G1, thank you very much. at 11:19 am

    It wasn’t funny/cool/ironic when Snoop sung, and it still isn’t when Kanye sings.

    I expected better from him.

37. by Maura Johnston at 11:19 am

    @Maura Johnston: Then again, you can’t fuck with Tchaikovsky (unless you’re the not-all-that-great soloist who played the second song, blech)

38. by alec_baldwin at 11:19 am

    Teh. I’m glad LL has finally embraced his geighness with all the talk about lingerie.

39. by Maura Johnston at 11:20 am

    I saw Perez Hilton close up. He was very sweaty.

40. by Maura Johnston at 11:21 am

    Oh, Nicole Scherzinger.

41. by The Van Buren Boys at 11:21 am

    *Listens to the new TV on the Radio song. Starts to feel better.*

42. by Maura Johnston at 11:21 am

    Ah, Nicole with the plug for the label!! Work that 360 deal, lady.

43. by loudersoft at 11:22 am

    @Maura Johnston: He looks like he’s dropped a huge amount of weight, though.

44. by Maura Johnston at 11:22 am

    I wonder if I should just watch the highlights.

45. by loudersoft at 11:22 am

    They actually replayed Pink throwing the VMA with the delayed glass shatter. Nice.

46. by Maura Johnston at 11:22 am

    @loudersoft: Yes, well. He was still sweaty.

47. by Maura Johnston at 11:23 am

    “Perez, thanks for being the only person who is willing to stand next to me while everyone heads off to the afterparty.”

48. by loudersoft at 11:23 am

    @Maura Johnston: hahahahahaha

49. by Maura Johnston at 11:24 am

    Oh great, Perez Hilton is going to cover “Get In The Ring.” GREAT.

50. by loudersoft at 11:24 am

    Sway’s copter finally landed.
