"Do you like fishsticks?"
"Yes."
"Do you like putting fishticks in your mouth?"
"Yes."
"What are you, a gay fish?"

That was the joke that became the focal point of last night's South Park, which destroyed both Kanye West and Carlos Mencia. Kanye failed to get the joke and gets angry when people use the fishsticks joke on him, while Carlos Mencia--who South Park accurately describes as an unfunny comedian who repackages old jokes with a Mexican accent--tries to steal the credit for the fishticks joke. I don't know if Mencia has seen it yet, but Kanye did, and surprise, he actually took it rather well.

The episode concluded with Cartman delivering a speech about how some people are so thickheaded and wrapped in their own ego that they fail to see the truth. When Kanye heard this, he understands how he's been wrong this whole time, and accepts that he is, in fact, a gay fish.

I was expecting the real Mr. West to also not "get it" and dismiss the show (if he even watches it at all) but in his new blog post, Kanye wrote that not only did he think it was funny, but he's also taking the episode's message to heart, which means he took his South Park bashing much better than most celebs who are lampooned on the show (*cough*TomCruise*cough*).

Please forgive the caps. This is just how a dope genius writes.

SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" IT'S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE'S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I'M SURE THERE'S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS... THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME!

That's pretty cool of Kanye, actually. But then again, South Park did go a little easy on him, didn't they?

After all, how can anyone truly say the portrayal was negative when they gave him the awesome honor of killing a lazy, joke-stealing, painfully unfunny and condescendingly racist piece of sh-t rip-off artist like Carlos Mencia?

UPDATE 1/13/09 : Uh-oh, apparently Kanye is insisting that South Park had nothing to do with his sudden change of heart. It's just a big coincidence, yo. Uh huh.

THE SOUTH PARK EPISODE DID NOT MAKE ME HAVE THIS EGO EPIPHANY! I ACTUALLY ONLY WATCHED A PIECE OF THE EPISODE WHICH WAS FUNNY. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MYSELF FOR A WHILE NOW, WHICH IS HARD TO DO IN THE PUBLIC EYE. I JUST USED THIS AS A PLATFORM TO EXPRESS WHERE MY HEAD IS AT.

Again, genius writes in caps.
