    If it wasn’t staged and I was Emminem, I’d sue Cohen’s ass off. Literally!

    I just read the boring world of Scott Aukerman and he doesn’t say anything about it being staged. This article is typical journalistic b-s.

    I didn’t like that stunt at all. You can spread herpes that way.

    Ok, really bad move on Eminem’s part. IMO he doesn’t need these stupid stunts to sell music, especially with that Bruno idiot. Em used to be real. Now, not so sure.

    I was one of the people who thought this was staged, and I said so on a Popwatch item earlier today. (Yeah, yeah, I’m an idiot – trust me, this isn’t the first or last evidence that I’m an idiot.)
    I stand corrected, and I gotta give Eminem props for being such a good sport. (Actually, a GREAT sport!) I still don’t really buy that it was for publicity. Like I said earlier, I don’t understand how having a guy’s nuts in your face and throwing a tantrum was going to help his sales.
    However, learning that he was in on the joke himself shows a great sense of humor about himself and a real growth from the way he’s acted at awards shows in the past.

    I was one of the people who thought this was NOT staged, (at least not Eminem’s participation) and I said so on a Popwatch item earlier today. (Yeah, yeah, I’m an idiot – trust me, this isn’t the first or last evidence that I’m an idiot.)

    Yikes, sorry about the multiple posts, though I see I’m not the only one struggling with the annoying new message board format.

    Staged or not, it was the funniest moment of the show! I don’t see why all the fuss and all this crap about suing Cohen. Eminem had plenty of time to get out of the way! Besides, if it was Eminem tea baggin someone, everyone would be celebrating it. So big deal-Eminem finally got a taste of his own vile medicine!
