George W. Bush confirms it's not his nude body in Kanye West's orgy video

by Jeremy Mersereau

Leave it to Kanye West to blow our collective mind with his high-level cultural critiques. The music video for Life of Pablo cut “Famous” is a ‘commentary on fame’, you say? Oh damn, now I see why they call him a genius.

The “Famous” video, which West debuted at the Los Angeles Forum last week, features lifelike artificial likenesses of 12 celebrities, all laying together nude in a giant bed like the world’s most disturbing 1960s variety show: This week, The Osmonds take a trip to the Uncanny Valley.

The choices for the celebs depicted are deliberately controversial, and include Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Caitlyn Jenner, Taylor Swift, Chris Brown with Rihanna, and original Prada-wearing devil Anna Wintour. Of course, Kanye himself is also shown in the centre, slumbering contentedly beside his fellow famous people, perhaps dreaming of his next magnum opus (that’s “inspired” wholesale from another source, in this case American painter Vincent Desiderio).

Also show in flagrante in “Famous”: George W. Bush, whose flabby landscapes are shown briefly alongside the slightly more aesthetically agreeable contours of say, Kim Kardashian or Ray J. The former President and perhaps most accomplished Kanye target isn’t about to take his nude fake lying down um, lying down.

A representative for the 43rd President of the United States told TMZ that “In case there was any doubt… that is not President Bush.” That fact should be obvious to anyone who has even a passing familiarity with W.’s figure, as “he [W] is in much better shape.” Well, of course, I think we all figured that out. That’s definitely the real Trump though.
