Kanye, Tiger, MJ, Chris Brown - the unfortunate 2009

CEBU, Philippines - If only there were more Kanye Wests in the world. No wait — lemme finish!! Yes, West proved he was a complete jerk when he jumped onstage and interrupted Taylor Swift’s glory moment at the MTV Video Music Awards. It was a moment audiences live to see.

But what if West could have interrupted those other moments we didn’t want to see? Then we wouldn’t be nursing scarred brains caused by 2009’s worst moments, such as: a smiling Joe Jackson hawking his record label for cameras a few days after his son Michael’s death; octo-dad Jon Goesslin’s creepy transformation from henpecked husband to sleazy bachelor; any of Chris Brown’s halfhearted apologies; Tiger Woods’ transgressions of the heart.
