As if we needed another reason to dislike Kanye West

In my opinion, Kanye West is one of the most obnoxious, detestable human beings I've ever seen on television. He's incredibly self centered, self absorbed, and is completely devoid of any class whatsoever.

Whether you like her music or not, Taylor Swift was so genuinely happy and honored to win this award -- not to mention gracious, as well. The fact that this complete d-bag would jump on stage, grab the microphone from her, and steal that moment is just so beyond anything that could possibly be considered acceptable. He completely destroyed what should have been a very special moment for her. She didn't even get to finish her speech. After an awkward silence, the producer started playing another video and she was ushered off stage. Just terrible.

Watch that video again, and check out the legitimately thrilled expression on Taylor Swift's face when her name is announced as the winner. Then look at how completely deflated she becomes after Kanye leaves the stage. Yeah, that's a REALLY nice thing to do to a 19 year old girl. You're such a big man.

On the bright side, Beyonce was very classy and called Taylor Swift up to the stage when she won for Best Video, so Taylor got to finish her acceptance speech then. Very classy move by Beyonce.

Kanye, of course, is an asshole. Not that I had any respect for him, but I lost anything I did have. Hope he feels big and bad cause he ruined a 19 year old girls night.
