Poor Aunt Betty (everyone has an Aunt Betty). If you’ve told her once, you’ve told her a million times: don’t trust anything you read on Facebook. Birthdays? Fake. New York Times articles? FAKE. Poorly Photoshopped Barney Stinson memes? FAKE AND GAY. The latest chunk of viral garbage that’s being passed around Zuck’s empire like a blunt among high school friends, which coincidentally, are the exact knuckleheads who fall for this kind of stuff, is the Adobo Chronicles’ “KANYE WEST BARRED FROM ALL FUTURE AWARDS SHOWS.” Sounds legit.
After this latest incident, organizers of the major awards shows like the Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards, and the Oscars have unanimously agreed to disinvite and bar West from their respective ceremonies. The television networks that air these awards programs also joined in the “West boycott.” (Via)
Don’t worry, Kanye, there’s still hope for you yet at the Spike Guys’ Choice Awards. Anyway, it takes about three seconds to poke holes in this story — lack of sources, the fact that the Grammys love Kanye being Kanye because it means people are actually talking about the Grammys, etc. — but that’s three seconds Aunt Betty could spend commenting on this “disrespectful rapper” before going back to Farmville. Yes, she still plays Farmville.
