Beer Steak Bullshit

The news is that all three children of Michael Jackson will be at the Grammys on January 31, 2010 and will give some kind of speech as part of Grammys’ tribute for the King of Pop. People behind the Grammys must be starving for talent now that Michael Jackson is dead.

Michael Jackson has three children. His firstborn son Prince Michael Jackson was born in 1997, his only daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson was born in 1998 and his youngest child Prince Michael II Jackson (aka Blanket) was born as recently as in 2002. They all are expected to be at the Grammys along with some other members of the Jackson’s family. 2010 Grammys will take place in the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Speeches at mega events like the Grammys or Oscars are major snoozers so it’s normal the organizers are looking for something that will spark the interest of general public. They can’t replicate Kanye West and his failed, pre-arranged bust of Taylor Swift cause that’s already been used, so how about bringing Michael Jackson’s children? That should work right? Children of deceased mega stars should boost views and ratings and that’s what they desperately need at the Grammys. Put kids in the spotlight and have them say some heart breaking words and possibly shed a tear and your views will instantly sky rocket.

It’s also likely that The Jackson family agreed with it and supported it in exchange for some mad cash. Since Michael is no longer with us (or is he?), might as well abuse his children to milk some money at his death. Joe Jackson, the father of Michael especially seems to be the one who would not hesitate to sell anything out for money and publicity. Joe Jackson is also said to have been invited to attend the 2010 Grammys. Leave the kids alone.

Were you one of the many who felt outraged by Kanye West ruining Taylor Swift’s big moment at MTV’s VMA? Has it ever occurred to you that it all could have been one big publicity stunt? What if none of what we have seen was real? What if all that fiasco was a staged, pre-planned production to boost publicity? As it turns out, both Kanye West and Taylor Swift have the same agent. His name is David Wirtschafter. Let’s do some loud thinking and you can do your own math yourself:

What if David Wirtschafter simply realized that most of TV viewers are brainless morans who will eat what they are served and will not only munch with their mouth closed, they will also pick their teeth when they are alone in the washroom. As history proves us, manipulating masses is this easy.

Given the above, what if David Wirtschafter who represents both Kanye West and Taylor Swift, called them both up for the meeting and told them that MTV’s Video Music Awards is a good opportunity to stir controversy? Because controversy gets people talking and the more the people talk, the more the boring musicians such as Kanye West and Taylor Swift remain before public’s eyes and for as long as they are there, the public will spend money on their boring albums.

But how to pull off a publicity stunt that will work and get people talking? Afterall, they have other boring artists like Lady Gaga who’s also a shitty musician (it hurts to give her a title of a musician, but let’s leave it for now) desperate for attention and since her music sucks, she can only do try hard attempts to draw attention to herself.

In order to outdo a bunch of wannabies like Lady GaGa, one would have to come up with an idea for a publicity stunt that will not only shock, but also upset people. And what could possibly achieve both? How about Kanye West stepping in to ruin what people would see as big moment of Taylor Swift? This would definitely get everyone upset, all mainstream media would talk about it and the public would want to see who that poor Taylor Swift is again, since all they hear about from every angle is her and then some more of her.

To keep the momentum going, Kanye West who will also be talked about could go on apologizing to Taylor West ad nauseum until every single moran on the face of a planet has heard of both Kanye West and Taylor Swift and (hopefully) checked out their music while they’re at it.

Could it really be that Taylor Swift was not a victim but we the public are? Could it be that David Wirtschafter truly pulled off a well pre-arranged publicity stunt at MTV’s VMA that delivered and continues to deliver on the momentum? You be the judge. The fact remains that under the heading for “Agent”, both Kanye West and Taylor Swift have the same name – David Wirtschafter.
