The 2009 MTV VMA nominees are out.

But, unless you’re Beyoncé or Lady Gaga, you probably won’t care – because Beyoncé and Lady Gaga got nominated for pretty much everything.

Somebody needs to invent a new music video awards, and call it The Awesome Music Video Awards.

For the first year of The Awesome Music Video Awards, the award in all categories would go to director Chris Cunningham, just to get things off on the right foot.

Here’s a little taste of what I’m talking about:

Violent crime is on the rise in the US.

We can’t find Osama Bin Laden in seven years.

Millions of illegal aliens are hiding in the country, gainfully employed. 

And we’re arresting music bloggers. 

A Los Angeles blogger has been arrested for allegedly sharing music online. Twenty-seven-year-old Kevin Cogill was arrested by FBI agents at his home Wednesday and charged with violating federal copyright laws. He is accused of releasing several Guns N’ Roses songs from their album Chinese Democracy before the album’s commercial release.

Cogill was arrested in his pajamas, and government agents recommended that bail be set at $50,000.

What does this tell the world about US law enforcement priorities?

We’re keeping the world safe for big business.

Yeah – it’s a step above MySpace, but I find that most people that I want to follow, more often than not, have their own blog or site. 

But, why I really don’t like Facebook is junk like this: the “Give An Analog Synth” app: 

Basically, it lets you send a message to your Facebook “friends” with a picture of a synth that they probably can’t afford to buy, when what they really want you to send them is links to photos of keytar goddesses. 

About the time you send your “friend” a fake virtual synth, you start to think about how much time is spent programming/designing/using these social networking tchotchkas. And how much really cool stuff isn’t getting created because of this sort of junk. </rant>

So – if you’re a Facebook fan – enjoy!
