Kanye's A Gay FIsh

Yes, the title is rather attractive, and pretty self explanatory, so there is no need to continue reading any further than this period. If you're reading this, you've read too far. If you've made it to this point, then I guess this does require an explanation. South Park, which is an animated show "notorious for its crude, surreal, and often very dark humor, which satirizes a wide range of topics including religion, politics, violence, abuse, sexuality, and mental illnesses," as Vanessa Grigoriadis of Rolling Stone magazine wrote. I believe that is the most accurate description of what South Park is. One thing the quote didn't mention is that South Park also loves to make fun of pop culture, especially its current icons.

This is where Kanye West comes in (or as some people refer to him, "Yeezy." Where they come up with half of those letters I'll never know, but that's for another blog post). He's known for his over inflated ego and sense of self-importance, but aside from all his flaws, his is also known as one of the first black hip-hop/r & b rappers to speak out against homophobia, not only in the black community, but also in the rapping industry. Could his acceptance of homosexuals be why South Park created an episode called "Fish Sticks" where Kanye West is portrayed as a closeted homosexual fish? Perhaps, but no one but me seems to be asking this question... Also, Kanye seems to be taking it well. His blog reaction is one of a sort of understanding with slight undertones of actually being angry at the way the episode portrayed him. Check out a clip below.
