Fire Starter
Remember Glenn Beck and his inappropriate comments? He’s back at it again. This time, he might have taken things too far. He was discussing Obama’s immigration plans for illegal aliens to be legalized. He was so outraged that he compared Obama’s plans to lighting an Average American on fire.
The actor had refused to be used as an example, so he pulled out a gas can and poured it over him. Additionally, Beck asked President Obama, “Why don’t you just set us on fire?”
VMA Awards
Remember the 2009 Video Music Awards? This awards night was so memorable that it earned a permanent place in pop culture history. Taylor Swift won the Best Female Music Video of the year. She was in the middle of saying her acceptance speech when Kanye West interrupted her so that he could praise Beyoncé. The “Imma let you finish” line is still being widely referenced by youngsters.
He claimed Beyoncé deserved the award more than the other nominees. The phrase “Imma let you finish…” has permanently cemented its place in the vernacular of modern culture.
