Before the technological age we lived in, if you really felt bad about something you had done to someone you would tell them “I’m sorry”. You could meet them in person, write them a letter, call them on the phone etc… it was a very private thing. Only you and the person you had wronged had to know you had messed up. Today our media crazed minds demand more of our celebrity gods though. When Kanye West did the whole Taylor swift thing, he didn’t just wrong one person, he wronged everyone that sings her songs and enjoys her music. Thus slipping her a note reading “yo Taylor girl sorry for all that beyonce s**t up on the stage, ya know I love ya. Sorry for reals.” Wouldn’t cut it. Thankfully for him though the little invention of twitter has been created. Now if he wants to apologize to Taylor swift (almost a year later when the next music awards are coming up and he needs public support to win), he can simply write: “I’m sorry Taylor” on twitter and his 700,000 fans can get the message and pass it on to everyone else that’s still angry with him, thus giving everyone a since that he has apologized for hurting them as well.
As much as I’d hate to say it though, I still have to agree with Obama and his original comments about Kanye.
