Kanye West "Famous" (NSFW)
The infamous video has hit the unfettered web... At its simplest, it's 10 minutes of celebrity doppelgangers — we assume, unless they actually got the likes of George Bush to appear here — all sleeping together in a bed, butt naked.
The actual construction of the clip is more complex, starting with a descent through the clouds with Kanye audibly taunting designer/antagonist Hedi Slimane that rock is dead, then a leering sex-tape coverage of the massive bed tableau — a Last Supper of sorts, with Kanye and Kim and the center and surrounded by notable people, mostly culled from the most notorious parts of their past — then a more formal depiction of the set-up, following by another cloud sequence.
Artistic? It is inspired by a work by artist Vincent Desiderio, who approves of this interpolation. Controversial? Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.
