From the mouth of Steinski: I dunno whether Kanye was right about George Bush and black people, but I love it that someone turned his interview into a mashup, and someone else turned the mashup into a video, all in like a week.

By now, the politics of Kanye West's awkward TV statement don't matter...
as long as there's a fun, cool video to go along with it.
A good spokesperson (for any cause) must first be articulate and forceful.
As I remember, Kanye was about as articulate as a rock.
His "political statement" was weak and rambling.
Making a "mash-up" (whatever that is) video to accompany it just seems pathetic.
Yes, Bush did much wrong...but so did Mayor Nagin and the Governor...and FEMA
and the list goes on. Is everyone going to get their own mash-up video?
thanks - I enjoy this blog very much - - Pete

Can anyone tell me where I can see more video of those people dancing in the street with George W masks? (Not the Jib Jab animations...) What was that from?
Thanks.

If all goes in his favor, not only will Michael Brown get his own cute mash-up video,
he'll most likely get a book deal and a guest spot on OPRAH (and a parody on the SIMPSONS)
thanks...Pete

Kanye West is a little bitch , who throws tantrums when he doesn´t win an award , he says that the Shows loose credibility if he doesn´t win because he pays a lot of money on his videos, well I think he lost a lot of credibility by acting like a big Jack Ass.

I love the way that people defend Bush here by attacking people that speak out. Or admitting to their own ignorance (with phrases like ' "mash-up" (whatever that is)', when they're on a computer already and Google's just a URL away). If you don't like people having opinions about how bad stuff is, why not move to China? They love people that keep to the party line.
Namby pamby Conservative cry-babies.
