Just like Prince and Puff Daddy, Kanye West has decided to change his name. He now expects everyone to address him as Martin Louis The King Jr. Here's what some of us at the office think:
A. It's a stupid name.
B. It's an insult to Dr. King and the civil rights movement.
C. Anyone who has "the" in their name is an egomaniacal asshat.
D. It's clearly a publicity stunt to sell his fugly shoes.
E. Everything Kanye does isn't 'genius*' and this is just another example.
*The ironic spelling mistake has been fixed. Thanks for the tip HM!!
Ha! what a jack-hole, this just proves what a waste he is....ego anyone?

I hate to say it, but every time he pulls a "stunt" like this, it makes me like him even more. He is doing exactly what he needs to do to keep himself on people's minds. I guarantee that this helps move units.
"I have so much to stunt about..." - PURE GENIUS

And the geniuses in your office don't know how to spell genius, thus disqualifying you knuckleheads from using that word for the month of February. It's called spellcheck - use it!
Now, about Kanye: sure it's a ham-handed grab for some publicity, and you guys got suckered.
Just like Prince and Puffy, this goofy move will run its course, and Kanye will go back to being Kanye - a sorta wacky, mouthy, reasonably talented, and very hard-working hustler (and I don't mean that in a derogatory way) who's having a pretty damned good run.

He may have just snagged the NUMBER 1 spot in the top 5 megalomaniac personalities list. I think he beat Sting with this

Kanye sucks and he's basically making a commercial for LV

Kanye always try to sell products. Not a very good singer but an advertiser. Whatever he wants man, but let me tell you this. He's making a fool out of himself.

kanye west is the greatest artist alive, if u actually take time to listen 2 his music you would see what he really is talkin about, he lets his opinion be heard and as far as the name changing goes, i think thats smart, thats the best way to keep people talkin about you so you can stay in the spotlight and get more record sales and more fame. kanye keep doing ya thang man

Maybe We cannot change the inevitable. But the only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. Did you agree with me? Posed By gucci shoes

I'll go my way by myself here's how that comedy ends
I have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
With clouds in the sky above have put the blocks on my fun
I'll try to fly up above for my place in the sun
I'll face the unknown I'll build the world of my own
No one know that I denied myself I found myself alone

Ugg boots typically has a unique glimpse from other kinds of boots. It is in fact this distinctive glimpse that makes it stand out inside the crowd. The expression ugg is truly the shot for ugly. Thus ugg boot in simple fact meant unsightly boot. But these days these boots are no longer deemed as unpleasant, they are moreover thought of as one with the most fashionable and snug footwear from the style industry. Just imagine walking miles on an undulated terrain in a pair of higher heels! What would be the result?
