If you have been following Kanye "I Love Fish Sticks" West's very turbulent public love affair with himself, you know that the last couple of months have been rough. I mean, it takes a lot for a polite man like President Obama to call someone a "jackass."
Now, in case you needed more proof that Kanye needs help, there is the new music video/short film, We Were Once a Fairy Tale, directed by Spike Jones in which Kanye goes out of his way to portray himself a buffoon and a loser. I don't know if this is some sort of public self-flagellation or what, and I really hate to say it, but Kanye is actually a pretty good actor. I mean, he is obviously committing his ass off in this movie.
This seems like a descendant of the Music-Video-as-Therapy genre, of which another collosal-yet-fragile ego, Axl Rose was the undisputed master. Do you remember those surreal and impenetrable Guns N' Roses videos from the '90's starting with "Don't Cry" in which Axl powerballaded his problems away?
