South Park Takes on Kanye West

Rapper, Kanye West, was parodied (and mocked) on a recent episode of South Park but he’s taking it in stride.

Jimmy (and Cartman, I guess) come up with a joke and it causes all sorts of trouble.  The joke teller asks someone “do you like fish sticks?”  The person then says “yes” and is then immediately told “then you’re a gay fish.”  Fish sticks sounds like “fish d*cks” so if you like them (and admit to enjoying having them in your mouth), then you are a fish who is gay.  Get it?

If you don’t understand the joke, you’re not alone since the cartoon version of Kanye West didn’t particularly enjoy being called a “gay fish” and subsequently went on a rampage.  The whole episode was hilarious and I don’t want to ruin it by telling you too much but if you want to see it, visit the Comedy Network website!

Fortunately, the real-life Kanye found a way to find humor in the situation.  Here’s what he wrote on his blog:

SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT’S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER.  Read the rest of the entry.

He also said that he was at the Cheesecake Factory over the weekend and the manager brought him a plate of fish sticks.  Wow…
