Kanye West infamously interrupted Taylor Swift at the 2009 Video Music Awards, an event that caused a media frenzy. Youth from across the United States reveled at West's courage and sympathized for Taylor and all parties agreed that Beyonce "deserved it." The ingenious Stephen Colbert satired this phenomenon during his own show. By clicking the link at the beginning of this blog post, one will enjoy Stephen's shift of focus from the irrelevant and embarrassing attention the incident is getting to himself. By shifting focus to himself, he send out the message that people will follow and do whatever is popular. Most get distracted by celebrities' egos, and disregard and forget about important issues in the present. So why focus on artistically challenged musicians like West and Swift, when people could focus on Colbert. Satiring the people's attention on the wrong things and the celebrities' need for attention at the same time by boasting about himself is no easy feat, but Stephen Colbert does so with much success. This video clip is one that is based on useless fact and is funnier to Colbert Report fans (like the author of this blog post), but all in all it successfully satires the faults of celebrities, the public, and the media by showing all his viewers of how easily minds can be manipulated, while increasing his public image.
