I'm gonna be honest about something.
It took some work but I just watched the whole Kanye West/Taylor Swift fiasco on Youtube.  Every jack knob and his dog seemed to have posted a video response to the bloody ordeal.   This made finding actual footage from the VMA's hard to do.  But I watched the coverage from the show and you know what?
I think it was staged.
Everything just played out a little bit too nicely.  It was like a puzzle where all the pieces fit together and you had a nice picture of a potted sunflower at the end.  We have an ogre-ish villian.  There's a sweet, angelic, young princess.  Standing in the wings is a flawless queen that can come in and save the day with her almost mystical perfection.  
Everyone boos the villian.  We all scream for the queen.  It plays out like a perfect fairy tale.  The story plays out to a much too neat conclusion.
I'm gonna be disappointed if I find out they did this on purpose.
