[001] MrDeath Current Version
Changed line(s) 7 from:
n
He was \
to:
He was \\\"almost superhuman\\\"? No, I\\\'m pretty sure you don\\\'t need superpowers to pull a microphone out of a girl\\\'s hand and insult her. He didn\\\'t \\\"seemingly appear out of nowhere\\\", he was deliberately not shown by the cameras because he was not supposed to be part of it. He\\\'s not Batman.

Again, you treat this as some sketch. It wasn\\\'t. It was Kanye being an asshole and ruining someone\\\'s day. There\\\'s value in controversial entertainment, but that\\\'s entertainment that \\\'\\\'has value\\\'\\\' or \\\'\\\'makes a point\\\'\\\'. All Kanye did was turn Asshole up to 11 and ruin someone\\\'s evening.

And \\\"CELEBRITY\\\" magazines are the bottom of the barrel of news. It\\\'s pure BileFascination, and not necessarily a good thing in itself.

Again, \\\'\\\'sarcasm\\\'\\\'. You can\\\'t even understand that, apparently.

RefugeInAudacity, again, is generally referred to fiction, and is not an acceptable excuse if, again, you humiliate someone on the biggest night of their life in front of friends and family. I\\\'ve said that at least a half dozen times by now. Do you not understand the words themselves? They\\\'re fairly small words, but then you\\\'ve utterly missed the concepts of hyperbole and sarcasm, so I\\\'m willing to believe your vocabulary may just be that stinted.

The \\\"good it calls\\\". Again, there was no tangible \\\"good\\\" from the event. You\\\'re trying to make it seem like some noble occurrence, when it was just an asshole being an asshole.

Ah, semantics, the last refuge of the desperate and petty. So, I said she was crying, based on reports that I\\\'ve seen, when apparently she wasn\\\'t, therefore my whole argument is wrong? Hehehe. That is hilarious.

You\\\'re not \\\"exploring the nature of Kanye\\\'s cult of personality,\\\" you\\\'re defending a man who pulled a dick move.

Personally? Eh. I call an asshole an asshole.

Again, freedom of expression (and it\\\'s \\\'\\\'freedom\\\'\\\', not \\\'\\\'freedome\\\'\\\'. If you\\\'re going to misguidedly crusade for it, spell it correctly) does \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' mean \\\"any asshole does whatever he wants.\\\" Do not try to tell me I\\\'m doing my job wrong; a steady paycheck and quite a few complimentary letters say differently.

I certainly don\\\'t need to have the notion of entertainment explained to me. For example, arguing with a man who can\\\'t understand the concepts of sarcasm and hyperbole, and who seems to have a grossly malformed concept of right and wrong, has gotten me entertainment for two solid days now.

And since I\\\'m \\\'\\\'also\\\'\\\' an entertainer (ran a webcomic that got some attention here and there, plus I\\\'m a wonderful storyteller), that means any insults I throw Kanye\\\'s way are perfectly okay, because I think it\\\'s funny! Aha, undone by your own logic once again!

\\\"Entertainment\\\" doesn\\\'t mean \\\"anything goes.\\\" \\\'\\\'That\\\'\\\' is the bottom line. Kanye was an asshole (possibly still is, though I haven\\\'t seen him do anything lately), so I will call him an asshole, and I will maintain that it was the wrong thing to do, and shouldn\\\'t have happened.

Now, have a wonderful day :D
