Much as Kanye’s last tantrum at the MTV Awards turned me off, I got a kick out of him making fun of himself on Saturday Night Live this weekend. It was pretty damn funny! In the skit, Kanye was a guest on “106 & Park” (Maya Rudolph and Kenan Thompson played Rosci and Terrence), defending his public tirades when he loses an awards. The hosts had him comment on a few video clips showing him getting pissed off at losing a Nobel Prize, a Kid’s Choice Award and the “Best Pumpkin” award at a county fair.

Did you see it? Does this mean Kanye sees how dumb he looks to the world when he throws a tantrum over losing? I hope so.

Britney’s busted VMA performance last night is the big headline today. But I’d rather talk about Kanye. Can someone puh-leeze show this obviously talented artist what it means to lose gracefully? Nominated five times, while dozens of others weren’t at all, he pouts for leaving empty-handed.  Good grief.

Says he: “That’s two years in a row, man … give a black man a chance,” West said, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. “I’m trying hard man, I have the … number one record, man.”

Waaaah! Waaaah! We get it. It sucks to lose. But throwing a tantrum, dissin’ the winner nonetheless, shows you didn’t deserve to win anyway. Am I the only one turned off?
