Ten Ways Kanye West Could've Been More Of A Douche At The VMAs

By now the entire world is aware of Kanye West's retarded stage invasion that disrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the VMAs. It was pretty classless, but it could've ended up being far, far worse. Here, then, are 10 things we're glad that Kanye West didn't do in the midst of his awards show faux paus:

10) Smash a Macbook Air. No high-end laptop should ever be sacrificed on the altar of Kanye West's rage.

9) Jump on stage during an over-the-top performance, like when Jarvis Cocker invaded a Michael Jackson wank.

Actually, Jarvis was pretty awesome there.

8) Shit on stage like GG Allin.

7) Disrupt Simian and Justice winning an award. Oh, right...

6) Punch Taylor Swift in the box.

5) Tell the world that Brokencyde's "Booty Call" is one of the best videos ever.

4) Send a shout-out to everyone who was touched by Michael Jackson.

3) Climb a giant piece of the stage set and shake it like a buffoon. Or like Rage Against The Machine's Tim Commorford.

2) Use his mic time to explain how he's a fashion icon.

1) Declare that Kanye West is for the children. To bite the late, great Ol' Dirty Bastard's mission statement would've been far worse than any other sputum that Captain Stupid Glasses could've hacked out.

Relive the moment:

Kanye's stage-rushing antics are just like his musical output: overrated and already done better by other artists.

 That Jarvis clip is even better than I remembered, but it still can't hold a candle to the ODB one.

ODB is for the children. Never forget.

Thorough work here, really. Regarding the video for douche #3, I feel Tim's actions were warranted since Limp Bizkit was the Mickey Mouse Club portraying a band.
