Post-VMA Fallout

Thanks to JFonz and his TiVo for providing me with a day-later viewing of the debacle that was the 2007 MTV VMAs. And now the fallout over Britney and Kanye, the 2 biggest losers of the evening (although at least 1 of them is destined for a rapid upswing at the end of this week):

Hit her, baby, one more time: Rebecca Traister of Salon reports on the show's soon-to-be-infamous opening act, its reflection of our society's values, but without letting Ms. Spears off the hook. The video here.


Everybody thinks I snapped: Kanye explains the underlying racism and selectivism of being put on the back burner.
