Franco/Rogen WeedGate: Let Me Explain How The TV Set Works
Really, everyone on the internet? Really? You think that Seth Rogen and James Franco just came out and made up their own crappy movie-shilling joint-smoking banter and the MTV execs were like "Oh no, this isn't what we had planned at all, pan out! Pan out!"? Really? Rogen and Franco were clearly reading lines written by the same writers off the same TelePrompTer as everyone else. Believe it or not, these things are planned. The panning out was planned. The whole idea behind the MTV Movie Awards is making awkward moments seem spontaneous and unrehearsed, when really they're just half-assed and written two days before the show airs based on who has agreed to show up. Look, do you think they would have put the close-up version of the scene online behind an age-verification shield if they didn't have the entire thing planned out?
I know it's funnier to believe that the show was hijacked by comedians and the hours we spent watching that crapfest were somehow made worth it by a moment of childlike discovery and joy, but no. Don't let the production values fool you: this isn't local news, this is MTV.

I'm just amazed Mike Myers didn't mention The Love Guru at all. Not even once.
