Collating the things that people say

So, the MTV awards went ahead in Miami - despite the Hurricane, and people getting shot, and the obvious dearth of decent acts willing to take part. It speaks volumes when the only vaguely interesting picture from the event is of Shakira. (Oh, okay, and this one of Nelly Tomato, but only because we love her).

Frankly, we couldn't be bothered to watch, but here's what the people of the interweb had to say:

Eva Longoria is dressed as a giant cameltoe. Viewers with HDTV are treated to a topographic map of Eva's vulva. (fluxblog)

Alicia Keys, once again, failed to disappoint those expecting her to look like shit. (goldenfiddle)

I'm still convinced that Ciara is a man. (clever titles are so last summer)

Apparently white guys can only be on MTV now if they wear eyeliner. (fluxblog)

For a minute there I was asking myself, "Why, exactly, is P. Diddy famous?" Then they showed the Notorious B.I.G. thing and I remembered: he had a friend once who like, died. We should give the guy a fucking medal. (stereogum)

Kelly Clarkson took a random friend up on stage to accept her award and said, 'Sorry, I don't have an entourage so I decided to bring up my friend Ashley.' I LOVE HER. (popjustice boards)

We wept. More importantly, we turned off the TV and listened to some actual music. (gawker)

Charlotte Church gains our respect for telling the truth about all the other pop stars. Bob Dylan "sounds like a freak", Beyoncé is "so out of tune that it does my head in", and Chris Martin is "a bit wimpy". Only a bit?

Is this wrong?
