Despite 2 apologetic statements and a moment of regret on the new Jay Leno television show this evening, denouncements and outcries continue to flood in on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, forums, and other social media over Kanye West’s on stage interruption during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech on last night’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Several are even trying to capitalize on the moment, such as t-shirt maker Tee Fury and graphic artist Hydro74 (aka Joshua Smith).
What a twat he is, first he invades the stage at the mtv europe awards to complain he didn't win and now he goes and does it again in new york,claiming beyonce should have won. here is an example of the numpty in action!!!

The much anticipated collaboration between Nike Sportswear and fragment design on the “Noise” t-shirts has been released. The idea is simple, yet strong and nicely plays with the signature Nike logo. Some people might need a second look to even realize that it does not say Nike. A small fragment logo is printed below the neck on the back. The t-shirt comes in a series of colorways and is now available at Nike Sportswear retailers. via.highsnobiety
