Do people actually think that this is funny?

Today is one of those days…(I won’t elaborate; use your imagination). Jimmy Kimmel did a skit of sorts for Kanye’s new think tank Donda that he terrorized Twitter with for hours the other night.

On the outset, a commercial of Kanye tweets would be funny. I was a little excited to watch it during lunch since today has been so stupid, and Kanye is notorious for humorous (and grammatically incorrect) tweets. Since they’re advertising it as a commercial about Donda–named after his mother–I figured that it would consist of those tweets, but it didn’t. It wasn’t even funny.

When I left for work this morning, did I leave my sense of humor at home? Or did it mysteriously vanish one day and I didn’t notice? I’m also left wondering if anyone actually cares that Kanye tweeted 86 times, or whatever statistic Jimmy Kimmel threw out there? Like, dude, can’t you at least make fun of the Republican presidential candidates or something?

“Throwing some kazoo on this bitch” is funny, but that had nothing to do with Yeezy’s “twitter rant” about Donda. In fact, it wasn’t a “rant,” either, but more of a tweet spree. What was he ranting about? He was tweeting about this creative think tank and how he wants to change the world.

Okay, I’m done. See, my blog post was kind of a rant. I took issue with the fact that Jimmy Kimmel’s video wasn’t funny, and that he wasn’t using the work “rant” correctly.
