Is America Becoming More Rude?
The web is all a buzz about recent meltdowns, tirades, and outbursts all done in front of millions of people watching.
As recent as last night during the MTV Video Music Awards Show, singer Kanye West interrupted country music star Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video.
It was easily the night's most memorable and controversial moment.
West took the microphone, said he was happy for Swift but also claimed " Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."
West has since apologized for the outburst.
Also this weekend, Tennis superstar Serena Williams laid into a line judge during the U.S. Open semifinals.
Serena thought the official made a bad call.
Then a profanity-lace meltdown ensued, finger-pointing at the linesperson and ultimately receiving a penalty that lost her the match.
And we can't forget about South Carolina Congressman, Joe Wilson, interrupting President Obama's healthcare speech to a joint session of Congress.
As the president tried to dispel some rumors, Mr. Wilson called him a liar.
These incidents lead us to today's hot topic... on Bay News 9.com.
