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.

My parents taught me to show decency, manners, courtesy, and to just "be a grown adult" especially whether you agree or disagree with someone else's achievements. So his mother died a couple of years ago. There's alot of people in this world that never had a mother to show them love. Is that the best his mother could do to act like that in public, or did he have a loving mother that tried to teach him well, but Kanye was just too stupid to listen to her?? I have to think it's the latter.

Kanye is worse than T.O. Both bitches and both cry babies. Both spoiled brats. Kanye aint never been in a fight in his whole life. He would get his ass whipped by the brady bunch mom. Stop your fking whinin!!!! that's all you've done your whole life. Bitch and and cry. George Bush likes black people, he just don't like biotches like you. He was a fighter, you're a whiner. He didn't give a fuc k what people thought. YOU DO. Get the fuc k over it. Be like 50, grow a set balls!
