Okay, sure, he may have looked ridiculous dressed up as Eddie Riggs at last night's MTV video Music Awards, what with that awful wig and foam arms that would have been laughed off the set of Popeye. And yeah, we know he's got a stake in the project's success, but you have to love Jack Black's commitment to Brütal Legend, one that we wish all big-name celebrities could share when they appear in games of their own.
Seriously though, Jack, let's have a talk about that wig.

Power to Jack Black... His commitment to this project is epic and I hope the sales numbers reflect that come Roctober

Since he's a gamer himself, I wonder if he too is aware of the general lack of advertising and awareness that games generate, so maybe he's trying to reverse that himself as much as possible for his own game.

LOL. So off-topic, yet so damn funny. Somehow, though, I could imagine one of his speeches being interrupted by an imbecile like Kanye. I think he was just mad because a "white girl" won that award.

I still don't understand why people are going nuts about kanye west. He didn't say that girl didn't deserve it, he just wanted people to know that beyonce made a good video as well and didn't want that to go unnoticed. he didn't say anything negative at all. sure it wasn't great timing, but it really wasn't terrible either. perhaps he should've just waited until he was on stage but because he did that, it will bring more attention to both videos now.

Space - it was inappropriate for Kayne to interrupt her speech and elude that another performer deserved the award more then her. Shes a young girl, who just won her first award. She deserved the opportunity to be acknowledge for her accomplishment. Kayne stole that from her.

Kanye west is a disgrace, he went up on stage and left the girl speechless as if she did something bad because she won her first VMAs Award. I think he did it on purpose, but didn't expect the backlash thats why he issued an apology, if a reporter had ask him, then thats fine, he would tell his opinion, but he stole the mic from the young women to say his opinion as if its so important.
The only thing thats even more shocking is the amount of racist comments the videos posted on YouTube and TMZ, I guess Taylor Swift has alot of far-right fans.

it was definitely inappropriate but in the end more people in this world know about taylor swift because of him now. I had no clue who she was, and I had never seen either of the videos talked about, but now I know....and considering it's the entertainment industry that a pretty good thing.
It's not like he went up and slapped her and said, "YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS!"
it was just awkward, and brings more attention to her, I'm sure she'll recover from this traumatizing event...

wow space, you think all racists are 'far right' huh? You couldn't be any further from the truth. If anything, its people on the 'left' that are racists. Maybe not against blacks and mexicans (obama is trying to play robin hood and rob the rich and give the poor black and illegal) , but white working-class males. Sorry if wanting to protect Americas border, language, and culture from illegal immigrants makes someone a racist.

This is totally off topic, but what the hell do you mean racism against white people? White males still make more money than anyone else on the planet, and that's a fact. And as far as protecting your culture and language goes, guess who discovered America? Not a white guy. He was Genoese (Genoa is in Italy). Neither Canada or the USA has a culture, except that which it has absorbed from other cultures, and the only reason we speak English is because they had the biggest army and the most money at the time. You're not protecting anything, you're making it worse.

@filter- I have no idea what you're talking about, sorry dude
@the rest of you guys- sure she is a massive celebrity, but like I said this will do nothing but bring tons of positive attention to her. This is great publicity for her. I bet she's fine with it. and you know what? it's also going to bring attention to beyonce and kanye. and attention is exactly what what celebrities want!
so someone please tell me how this is bad for anybody involved.

if you wanna talk to me about illegal immigrants, you should take into account that I'm native american. So, before you go too far talking about how terrible "illegals" are, let me ask you this. Why do you have anymore right to be here than anyone else?"

Filter, it will always be one of the more hilarious things I ever hear when white males complain about being prejudiced against. You must seriously live in a bubble or something. Are you really whining about racism against white males? Really? Reminds me of some of the original Fat Princess threads on here where men were whining about feminists, complaining of the sexism, how the feminists were hurting men and have been so negatively affected as a result of the feminist movement. Lawd, you must be so delusional I don't know why I bothered writing all that.

Wow... as a "white", working class male you are completely delusional. You say people should "Have some responsibility for yourself and stop looking for handouts from the government", yet in the same post you say that The President Elect is stealing money from you/us... hmmm... Pot, I've got a call from a Mr. Kettle for you on line one...
Then again, ignorance is bliss, and what good are ideals if they work both ways right?
@Space
More on-topic (at least for this thread) the "big deal" is that Kanye chose to take something away from Taylor Swift to get his own message out. MTV shut the mic off after Kanye said his piece. I respected the music Beyonce put out, and now I can respect the woman more than. Total class act. Kanye has a history of doing and saying things that, for lack of more poignant words, are just wrong. What would have happened if Taylor Swift had done that to Kanye? I'm absolutely positive he would have gone bat-shit crazy.
tl;dr: Kanye west is retarded and Filter is a hypocrite. :D

I think you were targeting me not space. Obviously the racists leaving the racist comments were other than black. I never said that black people or liberals cannot be racist any person can be racist no matter what skin tone.
'Sorry if wanting to protect Americas border, language, and culture from illegal immigrants makes someone a racist.'
Leaving racist comments because of what an ignorant black man did isnt trying to protect Americans border and culture is it.
The reason why I mentioned far right is because Neo-fascists and neo-Nazis are usually labeled extreme right or ultra right.
Whenever you click on a persons channel who left racist comments on the YouTube videos they have all that white supremist, Neo-Nazis stuff on their profile.
