Kanye West Is OK with Being a Gay Fish

Leave it to South Park to cut Kanye West down to size.

The rapper says Wednesday's episode, which portrays him assuming a joke about gay fish is really about him, has forced him to re-evaluate his occasional tendency to think everything is about him.

"South Park murdered me last night and it's pretty funny," a good-natured West writes on his blog. "It hurts my feelings but what can you expect from South Park! I actually have been working on my ego though."

In the South Park episode, entitled "Fishsticks," the fishsticks-loving Grammy winner can't understand why everyone keeps accusing him of being a gay fish with this joke: If you're a guy who likes fishsticks — especially in your mouth — you must be a gay fish. (Try saying it fast.)....

1. Well, his response is pretty cool, I think.

Too many people in the world would respond first with "I'm Not One Of The Gays So Stop Saying That!!"

Or words to that effect.

That Kanye made it all about laughing off a joke, and his own growth as a person... well, that turns this into a pretty nice story, IMO.

2. I agree - he impresses me despite his cockiness... n/t

3. Really.

Impressive response, especially since they tore him to shreds.
I wouldn't want those guys mad at me for a second.

4. I've tried (saying it fast...) and I still don't get the joke

about the fishsticks. Can anyone help me out here? Am I missing something d'oh-fully obvious?

7. Fishsticks = fish dicks

If you don't enunciate correctly.

5. Why does Kanye West have to think South Park was all about him?

Oh, wait.

It was.

6. I wish people wouldn't pester Kanye so much about whether or not he's gay.

IIRC, Kanye has been gay-positive his entire career.

Now, if we had reason to believe Eminem or Beanie Man were gay... I'd say take that ball and run with it.
