I mean, for the love of God: it has celebrities there. How many of those people have functional life skills outside of the ability to carry a tune or play a musical instrument? And by ‘functional life skills’ I mean ‘iron clothes,’ ‘balance a checkbook,’ or ‘walk past a bar without drinking it*.’ Don’t get me wrong: musical celebrities are often fun to hear. Just don’t listen to them.

*Thank you, Mitchell Royce.
.. the A&R men are supposed to make sure celebrities don’t get caught doing these things, in addition to listening for singles. **

Not *preventing* these things, mind .. sticking 3-7 creative types with limited social skills into the torturous, compressed lifestyle that is touring an album is *gonna* get some hotel rooms trashed *** and leave lots of hotel detectives **** and confused little girls ***** in the wake while money ****** is being made.

And many of them cannot carry a tune or play a musical instrument either.
WTF is a VMA and why should I care? Seriously. (Actually, no, don’t tell me. It’s some pop-culture B.S. that no one with two functional brain cells to rub together actually cares about, anyway…)
Only the word “don’t” was supposed to be bolded…. :/ Need that ‘edit’ feature
It’s the video music awards, a show where the pop music industry is given a spotlight and a clear stage. It is a trainwreck that can be seen from the ISS with the unaided eye.
Me, I went to Disney and watched “Tangled” instead.
