The thing that is kind of confusing about everybody turning out for the VMAs and VMA-related events is that MTV is not that cool anymore. Sure, we like The Hills as much as anybody, but it's not like The Hills would look that out of place on the WB (CW, whatever, fuck you). They don't ever actually show music videos anymore, and if they do show a music video it's for, like, the fucking All-American Rejects. They gave us Carson Daly. THEY GAVE US CARSON DALY. It's like, how much more do they have to piss in our eyes before we finally call it quits?

It's a fine line between that coy little look that says "I'm cute and interesting" and that coy little look that says "I'm trashed and easy." Unless you're double-fucking-fisting it. Then there is no line, it's just let's go back to your place, Drunky McSluterson.
