Kanye West pleads not guilty in paparazzi case

May 19th, 2009 // 41 Comments

Despite being caught on video, Kanye West is claiming he’s innocent of smashing $10,000 worth of paparazzi equipment during a temper tantrum. E! News reports:

The hip-hop star pleaded not guilty last week to charges of battery, grand theft and vandalism stemming from his arrest for tangling with a persistent paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport last September.
West and his business manager, Don Crawley, are accused of smashing a shutterbug’s $10,000 video camera when he and a colleague tried to get shots of the duo boarding a flight for Hawaii.

Of course, the prosecution will have an easy case here. All they have to do is try to take a picture of Kanye causing him to smack the camera to the ground, cover his ears and scream until somebody puts on SpongeBob. Because he’s a child.

    ANYHOO

    I almost pissed myself over the SpongeBob comment! Kanye is a whiny douche bag… wait… douche bags are useful and not whiny… I’d call him a cunt but I doubt he possesses the warmth or the depth for the term.

    F*ck the Papparazzi scum of the earth. It should be legal to smash their cameras, preferably in their faces

    @12: Agreed. Being a paparazzi is not a real job. Any douche with a camera can sit outside the clubs and be a paparazzi.

    If the past tense of “read” is read (pronounced “red”) then how come the past tense of “plead” isn’t plead (pronounced “pled”)?

    He looks that way because I boned him right up the ass. Squeals like a pig, he does. If only he’d move his ass a little more and stop crying, I’d be a happy camper.

    Kanye’s 15 minutes expired a long time ago. This loser should just take whatever money he has left and bounce.

    He’s always been a douchebag. Not as big a douche as THE GAME, but pretty close.

    The Great Stupid North American Street Ape is fond of performing what is called “rap” among the North American Street Ape community, which is actually an acronym for “retards attempting poetry”.

    The results of these efforts are always utterly useless though, just like the empty brillo-pad covered head of Great Stupid North American Street Ape himself.

    When not attempting to “rap”, the Great Stupid North American Street Ape can also often be found attempting coitus with the hot exhaust pipe of an automobile, an act which frequently ends in a burning case of penis captivus ab automobilo as the charred smoking skin of his scorched penis adheres to the inside of the exhaust pipe.
