Kanye West Throws a Twitter Tantrum

Kanye West isn't the only person to have a Twitter impostor; it's a nuisance that has been annoying a lot of celebrities lately. Naturally, West would like everybody to know that he doesn't tweet. He does, however, have a Mac with a caps lock, and he has a blog, and he's using both -- again -- to further demonstrate his need for anger management classes. "EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF," he says, or rather, shouts, in his latest entry. "I'M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I'M NOT AND I'M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH." He claims he blogs only about five percent of his activities, so you know this must really get him going.
West goes on to call Twitter "irresponsible," "deceitful" and "a f---ing farce" because they should be paying attention to every high-volume account and hadn't done anything to prevent people from pretending to be him. The full-time blogger/part-time rapper and producer ends the rant with the following threat: "HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO-CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW...WHY?...BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!"
This latest rant, however petulant it may seem, actually accomplished something -- Twitter went ahead and suspended the /KanyeWest account. We won't hold our breath for a "THANK YOU" post from Mr. West.
