Being Kanye (Minus the Paycheck)

0808bekanye.jpgDid you wake up this morning thinking you'd like to be a little more Kanye? In all likelihood the Be Kanye subway ad campaign has sunk in to your subconscious, but watch out--as learned from the video ad that circulated last month, being Kanye is really just being drunk...on Absolut Vodka. Or more accurately, on corporate sponsorship. Today the Daily News takes a look at the subway ads, which state: "For a few hours - or for a lifetime - any time is Kanye time." Well, it's better than being Dr. Zizmor.

I think they're kinda funny. At least Kanye can poke fun at himself.

Do I get to complain about never winning an award? Count me in.

Why would I CHOOSE to be an asshole like Kanye West?
Do they have a Grammy for Biggest Ego?

We've come a long way baby!

An Ad that touts white people that want to be black (and all the benefits of doing so), even if it's only about one particular narcissistic black person.

Like theres not enough shitty advertising already in the trains.
