heh
it's pretty funny how i'm as white as it gets and all these other people take that offensive.. white people shouldn't get offended from this, black people should.. you're a moron if you don't see the message in this flash
Reviews for "Kanye West: Hurricane"
............ thats right... just periods...
OK, even putting racism issues and hurricane victem sympathy aside, this wasnt to funny, at all... err ... thats it, it sucked, try a different topic all together that might appeal to everyone, im white and i laughed my ass off when KW said that the president hates black people. Really good animation tho, Ill give you that, my want to get a different voice actor tho, youve got some skill just get some sense...
Moogle out.
Pretty damn funny
Always fun to see something from The Walrus.
Shoulda picked a different subject.
This flash is based on a VERY sensitive issue. The fact is that all the people affected by the hurricane suffered greatly, whether they be black or white. However, the city has (or had) a population that is 70% black. The fact that those atrocities happened down there during the recovery, and the fact that the recovery effort was so slow is inexcusable, and it's not too crazy to theorize that the recovery would have been quicker and safer had the city been mostly or all whites.
Since you're clearly black, you can't possibly realize how saddening and at the same time enraging even the possibility of racisim is. This flash is really pushing it itself, without even talking about trying to downplay what was said on the air. If we removed the fact that Kanye West is a celebrity, then would the things he said have been any more true? If he was a normal person who happened to say that on the air, would whites have reacted differently?
All that aside, your portrayal of West in this flash hints at racism. Clearly tagging white-created black stereotypes onto West just plain pissed me off. I understand you wanted to parody him, but that wasn't the way to go. Alternatives included doing it "South Park style", where you had a real-life headshot of him, and his mouth move, or just somehow differently.
I couldn't finish watching the flash, because not only was I somewhat offended, but the movie wasn't good at all (I was trying to be objective), and the voice used was just extremely annoying, and again hinted at racism, because you made him sound as if he has a mental problem.
Good animation though, I'll give you that much.
pretty funny
nice bash and pretty funny but i don't agree with it. but it's still funny and that's something many people can't say because it goes against what they believe in.
