Kanye Petition
- Thread starter 48thStreetCustom
- Start date
That would be awesome. That d-bag needs a good reality check. I would cancel him on principle alone. He doesn't make or break the event. Unless of course he starts interrupting the other artist.
I would be curious to know how many members of other participating acts signed that petition?

Funny! But, not to defend Kanye, I wonder how many of the signees actually have tickets to the festival?
Hmm! Yeah, good question. Either way I find it hilarious that that many people want to have him canceled. It would be great karmic irony if none of them actually had tickets.
Just to put some perspective on this there are 60,000 people that want to cancel Kanye.
Yet some duckhead (I think I spelled that wrong) couldn't even muster up 400 signatures in protest to the band Black Pussy. Nothing to do with the Glastonbury festival.
Awesome! Maybe people do get it.

Black Pussy got my support when they replied to the petition with a Doug Stanhope video about how stupid it is to be offended by words.
Stanhope is funny. I'm going to see Black Pussy tonight.
As seems to be proven time and again, the number of buffoons on this rock far outnumber the 60,000 who've signed...and those buffoons have cash money and buy tickets to see Kanye specifically.
You are quite right, but if for nothing else, it might send a message to Kanye to get his S**T together and start acting like a grown up instead of a spoiled brat child.
With everyone taking notice and talking about him he's getting all the publicity he needs/wants. Just ignore him!
Hmm!
I feel I must recant my earlier statement which was "Maybe people do get it".
No we don't.
Alas, this will only benefit him more than hurt him. So sad.
(Very clever of you.)
Please, sir... just sit down...sir, sir...come back here!
Point made.
This isn't going to help him. Cheating isn't what took down Tiger Woods, it was sponsors pulling his endorsements due to public pressure. As of this morning, the petition is up to 87k. Other festivals are going to think twice about booking him. Especially when you combine that with what he pulled at Bonnaroo.

I had so much respect for him when I listened to Graduation, but after that he became deranged spouting garbage. I mean after hearing the crap he said about Beck, I will never consider him a true artist. I mean Beck was rhymin' WAY before his name became relevant, so he just needs to stop...
Back in the late '80s, one Terence Trent D'arby came out with a hit debut album. He soon started going around saying it was the greatest and most important album since the Beatles' Sgt.Pepper's. and he, the greatest singer alive.
The world turned it's back on him and his success quickly whithered away.....He now goes by the name Sananda Maitreya.
Ahh,the good old days.
