**OnlineHost** Welcome to Video Shoot Chat! |
 |
woman: /gets out of car, walks a few paces, strips down to underwear, starts fire with lighter fluid and a Zippo
/walks back, opens trunk |
 |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: mmmf |
| |
woman: Why did I just light a fire? |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: /rips off tape from mouth
Um. Because if you didn’t, your body wouldn’t be visible. |
| |
woman: But the video’s only camera switch occurs at the exact moment I turn around, and the fire’s behind me. How would that make me show up better? |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: …
fffuck
all right we’ll fix that in post |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Now grab that shovel. I’ll flip the hatch and slide into the back seat, and then you act like you’re bludgeoning me to death. |
| |
woman: I don’t understand this either. What’s my character’s motivation here? |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Fair enough. Here’s the conceit. |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: This video will serve as an epilogue and companion piece for another video featuring this same song. |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: It was an aesthetically neat but otherwise banal video. You’re mad because it was terrible. |
| |
woman: So? Does my character just roam the countryside and murder people who make crap-ass music videos? |
| |
woman: Is there another companion piece? Do I get to garrote McG with a jump rope? |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Well, the video is too ambiguous to communicate a singular message, so viewers will be left to glean their own interpretations. |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: Most disturbingly, it would be easy for one to interpret it as a vindictive lecture that portrays rape as a consequence. |
| |
woman: … |
|
**OnlineHost** The woman is bludgeoning Kanye West with a shovel. |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: OW OW FUCK WAIT FUCK |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: /manages to open trunk escape, crawls into back seat bruised and bloodied |
 |
SargeantYorkeofKarmaPolice: oh hey it’s this fuckin’ guy again! |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: What are you doing in here? |
| |
SargeantYorkeofKarmaPolice: oh you know, we’re just hanging out, chasing after this fat dude real slow |
| |
SargeantYorkeofKarmaPolice: we started leaking petrol a ways back but fuck it, you know |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight: /turns around, looks through back window |
|
**OnlineHost** The fire has spread to a trail of fuel left by the car. |
| |
KanyeFeelTheLoveTonight:
aw graham crackers |
