All right. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
Now, in many ways, social media is a brutally honest reflection
of today's culture, for better or for worse.
Now, here to examine what social media got right and wrong
this week is
with her new segment Hash it Out Franches...

Thanks, Larry.
So, this past weekend Kanye West
dropped the music video for his song "Famous."
In it, Kanye West lays in bed with creepily realistic
wax replicas of celebrities, including Taylor Swift,
Rihanna, Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Donald Trump,
Caitlyn Jenner and Bill Cosby.
Oh...
and they're all butt-ass naked.
Gross.
Now, they're supposed to be asleep,
but to me it just looks like a crime scene.
But, as they say, Kanye's gonna Kanye.
But his delusional fans were quick to defend the video
with tweets like these.
"The 'Famous' video by Kanye West
is (bleep) art."
"Why are people shaming this video?
It is art!"
"With your famous video is one of the most valuable
pieces of art in our time."
The most valuable piece of art in our time?
I'm guessing you've never seen an Andy Warhol,
Georgia O'Keeffe or Jackson Pollock?
If you think this video is art, I've got an old copy of
and an episode of
that will blow your (bleep) mind.
(cheering, applause)
And to add insult to injury,
this garbage video isn't even original.
"This scene is inspired by Vincent Desiderio.
Gotta appreciate the risk and vision."
Risk and vision?
Sure, risky because Kanye's ass is probably getting sued.
But vision? He just copied someone else's work.
Hey, HBO, I've got a completely original idea for you.
It's called
Trust me, totally mine.
Sure, technically, this video could be considered art.
But just because it's art doesn't mean it isn't awful.
Kind of like your nephew's macaroni self-portrait.
I don't care if you're in preschool, kid,
working with rigatoni makes you a douche.
Not to mention, art can be criticized.
Oh, and criticize it I will.
This video is gross on so many levels.
It's so misogynistic.
It's not new or creative to exploit women's bodies.
There are tons of wax tits in this video
but where are the wax dicks, Kanye?
(cheering, applause)
Well...
technically, Trump is a wax dick,
-so you do have one. -(cheering, applause)
I'll give it to you.
Then you've got Rihanna next to Chris brown.
You know, that dude that, uh, abused her?
And let's not forget the video has multiple naked women in bed
with an alleged serial rapist.
That's right, (bleep), we haven't forgotten about you.
To top it off, this masterpiece was made
without any of these people's consent,
which is so hypocritical.
Kanye, you know how valuable your public image is.
Hell, you didn't like it when an Australian artist
did a mural of you making out with yourself.
And if I'm being totally honest, Kanye making out with Kanye
is way more plausible than this freaky slumber party.
Listen, Kanye, I really don't understand your sick obsession
with Taylor Swift, Amber Rose or yourself, for that matter,
but this video really crossed the line.
I have always been a fan of your music,
but what you do with your wax figures
in the privacy of your own home is your business.
Just leave us out of your not so beautiful dark twisted fantasy.
Franchesca Ramsey, everybody.
We'll be right back. (whoops)
