Does Kanye have an original bone in his body? He already had to lean on the creative genius of Daft Punk to fuel his breakout single "Stronger" and now he wants to steal the video thunder from bad '90s has beens. Next thing you know Mr. West will have an infomercial like George Foreman or Suzanne Somers. Kayne would look good selling Thighmaster 2.0.
