Faithful Readers will recall that, one week ago, we posted our nomination on our Facebook and Redroom.com sites for “The Most Unintentionally Hilarious Music Video Of The Year”: Kanye West’s “Bound 2″ video.
Alas! Perhaps taking it too personally, Mr. West pulled this classic –filmed and directed by auteur Nick Knight-exclamation-point– from public distribution on YouTube. Thus was the naked-sex-on-a-motorcycle-somehow-speeding-in-reverse-gear lost to the Masses.
Due to the lamentations of the General Public over Mr. West churlishly removing his soul-uplifting video, James Franco and Seth Rogan have courageously stepped up to fill this gap… with their own match’d shot-to-shot version of Mr. West’s now gone-but-(sadly)-unforgettable original.
Theirs is also hilarious; theirs was intentionally so.

(POSTSCRIPT: Mr. Franco does an impressive impersonation of Mr. West; however, IMHO Mr. Rogan was woefully Ms.-cast as Ms. Kardashian.)
