With an impressive 300,000 tweets in one hour, it seemed as though everyone on the Internet chimed in after rambunctious rapper Kanye West interrupted teen queen Taylor Swift during her 2009 MTV VMA acceptance speech for Best Female Video. From the virtual landscape came an outpouring of shock and anger, resulting in the inevitable creation of an Internet sensation: the 'Interrupting Kanye'.
This new meme spans all forms; from IMs to macros, people just can't get enough of Kanye's inflated ego. Here are a few of our favorites so far:
- Popular knock-knock joke 'interrupting cow' gets a topical spin. (via Kapi)

- The Daily What collects brilliant Advice Dog-inspired memes. (via The Daily What)
- CSI Miami's David Caruso makes for a stunning (punning!) meme. And, if you dare: make your own CSI meme! (via money, guns, apples, d*cks)
- Youtuber FreeYourPixels was quick to make a video parody remix of Kanye disrespecting President Barack Obama during his healthcare speech. Forget Joe Wilson!
- The Moon Landing just got that much more iconic. (via kevinnuut.com)
- While Kanye may not have a Twitter account... (via PonyPonyShow)
- "IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT THE DEATH STAR HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST DEFENSE SYSTEMS OF ALL TIME" (via Amok Time)

- This hammy gets a schooling on proper nomming... (via Kanyegate)
- West puts George Washington in his place (4chan via The Daily What)

- Kanye only has a few words for God... (via Grumbl rumbl tumbl)

- Thanks for the submission, Aubrey!

- Tay, take some advice from the master...

- Thanks for the submission, skydreamerstar!

- Thanks for the submission, Evilmanta!

- Ohhhhh snap! Urlbots Kelly Reeves & Stephen Lenz get interrupted!

Just goes to show- money and fame and you still remain an ASS. Money and fame do not teach you manners, respect, humility. Your own mother didn't teach you to be so rude- MONEY-FAME has you thinking you can DO ANYTHING- like be the ASS that you are. Now and forever more you will be known as the ASS of the media.

I wonder if Kanye knows about all this, that there are thousands of pic's and videos out there mocking his debacle at MVA's.
This is gonna be more epic than the famous Chuck Norris Facts. LOL!
