Faux Pas of the Week

Kanye, Kanye, KANYE, what were you thinking?!?
I’m just referring to the televised program where celebrities used their clout to ask for donations to help hurricane Katrina victims. You can check out the full vid here on Slim’s blog. He’s got photos/captions as well.
In the middle of that relief vid, Kanye, who could not make a complete sentence to save his life, blurts out, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people!” Mike Meyers and Chris Tucker are left desperately searching for someone off camera to help them. Anyway, I understand his sentiment, but KANYE, what were you thinking? That’s what your albums are for! That’s why you have a venue that you are GOOD at to express those views. Even if it is complete truth, it was totally inappropriate in light of the relief effort at hand.
Love his music, but man, he seemed semi-retarded.
