"She is not a 32" back! She's more like a 38", the lying hefferlump."
Really? So if she's a 38" it's okay for men to put creepy notes in her package of underwear? Or maybe he's suggesting that if she had ordered a 38" (and why would she order a bra 6 sizes too small?) the man wouldn't have put the creepy note in the package...

I don't know what she said, but if he hung up, why the fuck did he leave that note in the first place?!
If he violated her privacy (and dignity, and and) like that, his number should totally be available for everyone to see, too.
Asshole. #mail

Oh, and anyone who can't spell will never get a return call from me no matter what. Ever. I'm sorry if that is bigoted. #mail

It's like how I'd far rather talk to/hang out with someone with a really low IQ than someone who's technically smart but utterly refuses to pick up a book. #mail

If someone sent me a nice email with a misspelling in it that was just about work stuff or neighborhood stuff or whatever I certainly WOULD respond to it.
But not a hit-on note stuck in with my bra. Sorry. That's NOT bigoted. #mail

He can't write worth a crap, and his handwriting looks like that of a kindergartner, but he is such a genius when it comes to computers that his incompetency at writing doesn't really matter.
If I had discounted him based on his e-mails, I would have never found a man that does laundry, dishes, and cooks. #mail

I was just trying to point out that not being able to spell isn't the greatest criteria for judging a person. I'll judge this guy on the crappy note he sent. His minor spelling mistake is, to me, neither here nor there.
Clearly you didn't really mean what you said, but I was responding to your actual statement and had no way of knowing that "...never... Ever" actually meant "in this specific case". Plainly, I've upset you which was never my intention and I apologise. #mail

... Can I still feel disdain for people who use text speak, though? #mail

Bravissimo is a speciality store for large breasted women. JJ is pretty much the top of the size range, but it exists. #mail

I dunno, I just can't see how a 32JJ bra would be especially titillating given the sizes that Bravissimo carries, and that makes me more inclined to believe it's someone in the p.o. That or it's just a prank that's in very bad taste... #mail

Or perhaps someone wanted to prank Matthew J... #mail

2. MTV knowingly let Kanye on the stage. Do you really think security would have let him up otherwise?
3. Taylor's people knew.
4. Beyonce's people knew.
And now all three artists get publicity, for free. And the ignorant masses are expected to "defend" their favorite. (and buy more CDs)

I guiltily like Taylor Swift (guiltily because I'm way past high school age, yet find myself turning up the radio whenever I hear her songs). I recognize the impact she has on young, white teenagers. At the same time, I cannot fathom a young black girl who many aren't familiar with beating out, for instance, Madonna at the height of her career after Madonna created one of the most watched and imitated videos in the entire WORLD.
Whatever the MTV audience (and, considering that Beyonce is the most popular female artist on MTV.com, the argument that MTV's audience prefers Taylor Swift is certainly arguable) if someone deserves an award, which Beyonce did, he/she deserves it period. They don't distribute sympathy awards or "our audience likes this artist more so let's give it to her" awards. That's an entirely separate category called Viewer's Choice. With that, I guarantee you the VMA voters are disproportinately dominated by white folk.
The delivery did not suit most people's tastes, but the message certainly speaks to the larger issue of how often deserving Black artists lose out to suit the tastes of the mainstream, not because they are better, but simply because they are more in number.
Let's put aside the controversial approach for a moment and just consider in what alternative universe the reaction would be had this been a black female newcomer against a legendary white figure who also happened to have created one of the most popular videos of this generation.
Would people be be just as sympathetic to the black woman and acted like she was some innocent kitten whose age gets younger and younger with each news story (next she's going to be 14 in some reports, I just know it). Would she have won the award in the first place? If a white man took a moment to speak a truth that many agreed with, would people call for a destruction of his career and end to his life? I think these are valid things to consider.

The last thing she needs is HIM getting up there to validate her. Especially at the expense of a young newcomer.
Such. A. Douchebag.

Kanye, if you ever share the urinal next to mine, I'm pissing on your shoes.
