Temporary VMA Comments Thread

While we wait for comments to get fixed, those of you who would like to comment on Mike’s fine liveblogging of the night can chat here, at least until we hit 100 posts, at which point I guess we’ll go into thread No. 3? I dunno, I’m still sort of experiencing sunstroke from being out in the heat for three hours with no water and not all very many interviews.

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

  2. Dickdogfood  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    ARRRGH. I feel for you people. ARRRGGH.

  3. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    So, the West Coast broadcast is just starting!

  4. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    Wait, no it isn’t! WTF

  5. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

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

  7. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    And here’s Lil Wayne!

  8. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

    God I hate Kid Rock

  10. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    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. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  12. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  13. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  14. NeverEnough  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @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. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  16. The Van Buren Boys  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  17. The Van Buren Boys  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @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. NeverEnough  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  19. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    Ew, Kobe. Was LeBron not available?

  20. NeverEnough  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @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. alec_baldwin  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @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. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    The interstitial graphics are pretty great. MORE MOONMEN FEWER SCHERZINGERS

  23. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    And lo, the cycle to redemption is complete.

  24. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  25. alec_baldwin  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  26. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    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. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  28. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    Maybe Bob is one of the backup dancers?

  29. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  30. The Van Buren Boys  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @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. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @Maura Johnston: Bastards!

  32. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  33. The Van Buren Boys  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  34. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    Did he really just say Hare Krishna?

    Heh.

  35. NeverEnough  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    Good lord. That was amazingly underwhelming.

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

  36. jopari actually likes the G1, thank you very much.  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

    I expected better from him.

  37. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @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. alec_baldwin  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  39. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  40. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    Oh, Nicole Scherzinger.

  41. The Van Buren Boys  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  42. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  43. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  44. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    I wonder if I should just watch the highlights.

  45. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  46. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  47. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  48. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    @Maura Johnston: hahahahahaha

  49. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

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

  50. loudersoft  |   Posted on Sep 7th, 2008

    Sway’s copter finally landed.
