The other night on the VMAs there was this sweet confrontation between Eminem and Moby. They have this long standing feud, which I think all started a few years back when Moby said something about how he thought Eminem's lyrics preached homophobic and misogynistic values. (Good listening skills, Moby.) So then Eminem, in hip-hop tradition, rapped naughty words about Moby in one of his new songs.

So anyway, the other night at the awards, Triumph the Insult Comic dog comes out and kind-of interviews Moby in the audience. I'm a huge Triumph fan, so I was pumped to see how the whole thing would go down. Right away, Triumph starts digging Moby about the Eminem stuff. Moby plays along, laughing about the whole thing and taking a few pictures. Then Triumph gets up and tries to get a comment from Eminem. Right away, Em's posse jumps-up and starts pushing the puppet dog away.

It's gets crazier. Eminem wins the next award and goes up on stage. He takes a shot at Moby, calling him a 'girl' or something. Moby boos, then tons of other people start booing. It was totally sweet. It was also the story of the night.

I later found out that Moby has a blog and that he blogged about his experience at the awards. He also posted a bunch of pictures from that night, including some that he took while Triumph was interviewing him.

To make-up for the lack of quality Triumph at the Mtv awards, here's a copy of my new favorite Triumph bit. [It's frickin' huge, like 17MB, so have patience while it downloads.]
