Essay 1284


News from the Western World in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards to complain about losing in the best video award category to Justice and Simian for “We Are Your Friends.” During West’s curse-filled rant for his video “Touch The Sky,” the artist proclaimed the work “cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons. … If I don’t win, the awards show loses credibility.” Seems like West is the only one in danger of losing credibility. Justice and Simian probably thought of West, “We Are NOT Your Friends.”

• ABC News revealed Army recruiters lying to students. The false statements included telling the recruits that the war in Iraq was over. When asked about the probability of being shipped to Iraq, a student was told, “No, we’re bringing people back.” Another recruiter declared, “We’re not at war. War ended a long time ago.” Maybe John Kerry was right after all with his botched joke.
