uhg. i really don't like Kanye West.
anyway, Mueller's comment here is interesting:
"Lady Gaga is the best indicator of where we are and where we're going as a culture."
(i wonder if this is true?)
"For that reason, she warrants our attention, and a deconstruction of her music, story, and worldview. Her popularity means that her message is getting through."
The problem with the internet is that it has a very short memory. I think MTV needs to drag out that old "Best of the VMAs" special again so people can stop acting so ~shocked~ that someone upstaged someone else at the VMAs. We're talking about a show that regular features people's rear ends as a source of humor. It's not exactly the Oscars.
