I'm just going to say what almost everyone is thinking. Kanye West's "Bound 2" is absolutely f***ing horrible. And I don't just mean the video. The song is dreadfully painful to listen to. For those of you who consider it art? You have the right to your wrong opinion, and I respect that. James Franco and Seth Rogen put this crap in it's place by making light of how easily it could be spoofed. In other words, thank you for using your star power to remind us all that this song and video collaborative are a sad, sad joke. Also, your version is hilarious. I just wish I had seen the original music video first because stumbling upon something like this with no background information is, well, really confusing (Note my lack of analogy to better explain how I feel about it).
I wouldn't consider myself removed from pop culture- but it certainly doesn't keep me up at night when (insert generic celebrity here) is enduring a first world crisis. Celebrities often set the scale out of whack. Then again, it isn't their fault that the priorities of the general population are as organized as a Winner's sale rack. However, once in a while, they use their star power to draw attention to certain issues or sway public opinion for the good of man kind. I'd like to acknowledge one of these great acts.

The point I'd like to make at the end of this long-winded rant, is that, while Kanye probably thought this was another one of his God-like creations, it turned out being terrible. However, thanks to a spoof gone viral, this story can now end on a famously hilarious note. Sometimes it just takes someone pointing it out in order for it to be realized. Kind of like a booger that's been on your face all day that no one had the cou pointed out to you. Thank you for pointing out the booger, James and Seth.
