Refuse to watch them.. I hear the VMAs were a jumping off point for KFed's
album and new 'acting' career.........Jayzus Christmas.......they insist on
stuffing that crap on the unsuspecting public.....
Although I did hear a comment I thought appropriate. 'All that money that
Spears et. al have and they CHOOSE to look and act like that!!!" The old
saying goes.....'you can take the trash out of the trailer park, but you
can't take the trailer park out of the trash.'

That venue makes you want a baloney sammich on white bread slathered with
mayonaisse followed by an RC cola and a moonpie.
