Well…He has done it again. Yes I said again. I would suspect that being Kanye West publicist would never be a boring job. The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards’s have made him a household name once again. But as the week progresses people still are not forgetting about “the incident.” Monday, as People Magazine, CNN and E! Online were reporting on the previous night events and what the other celebrities thought of it, others were starting to wonder if the whole thing was a PR stunt. Michael Sebastian blog post spells out the facts to provide speculation about the nature behind the rude interruption. Then there is Kanye’s history. I also noticed that this article fails to mention his past award show interruption. After so many blunders I would categories him as the king of ill-behavior. Almost five days later, everyday has brought a new story about the incident, Taylor’s Mom confronted Kanye, Kanye calls and apologizes, Taylor gets flowers from Janet Jackson. The most notable is probably how President Obama called Kanye a Jackass. While I think almost everyone agrees with him, he also has a PR blunder of his own. First of all, please know that saying “this is off the record” does not mean it’s off the record. Anything you say can be quoted! As the President, he should know that! This is a definite FAIL on his part. While I do think both made PR boo-boo’s…One definitely has a more justified opinion than the other.
