MTV Will Let You Lip Sync If You’ve Beaten Rihanna

…Because nothing sends the right message to its viewers more than Chris Brown getting a prime performance slot on MTV’s Video Music Awards.

Oh, how quickly MTV forgives and tries to forget. Choosing to ignore the fact that Chris Brown once made his then-girlfriend Rihanna kiss the dashboard of his rented car with her face, the no-longer music television network had Chris Brown perform last night at their annual MTV Video Music Awards, which loses any shred of credibility it has from year to year with MTV still no longer playing music videos, rendering their awards ceremony irrelevant. To make matters worse, they let him dance to Wu Tang Clan, where he had a pretend martial arts fight with some dancing attackers, before making Kurt Cobain turn over in his grave by trying to head bang to “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

I always look forward to the opportunities domestic abusers get on TV after the incidents, because dance fighting is always what I anticipate in the futures of those with violence in their pasts. Thanks, Chris Brown, for keeping the streak alive… oh, and for reminding me what a douche you truly are. You have to think those women dancing on stage with him were either lied to about who they’d be serving as extras for or… well, that’s the only explanation I can understand. You can almost see the fear in their eyes if you look closely when Chris Brown comes out.
