A ‘Fairytale’ Slap For Kanye

From abc

Call him arrogant, call him childish, call him any number of unsavory adjectives — at least Kanye West knows how to laugh it off.

Last week, West posted the somber, surreal short film “We Were Once a Fairytale” on his blog. Just as the Spike Jonze-directed video was starting to spark controversy, West pulled it down, only offering fans the explanation, “Sorry I had to take it down .”

Now the two are back with the perfect antidote to their dark “Fairytale”: a behind the scenes-type clip of Jonze and West arguing during the filming of the short. After Jonze begs West to stop texting and pay attention, he slaps the rapper with a thwack powerful enough to make speakers thump. To be sure, it seems completely staged, but it’s funny enough for a view or two.
