"Welcome to Mall Stars, Kim and Kanye, where all of your music video production needs can be met. We have 2-D backgrounds like sunrise, river, mountains, forest, stallions running, we have Arizona setting, we have a real motorcycle, and we can provide you with up to 3 plaid shirts, maybe a tie dye..." Frank, the passionate Mall Stars manager, hollers at a door leading to a back room, "Cindy, are you almost done ironing that tie dye, sweetheart?" He glances back at Kim and Kanye, pouring sweat and smiling through his anxiety as he waits for Cindy to bring out the tie dye where is that tie dye! He really hopes they still have it. They could really use this sale. People just aren't making videos in the mall anymore.
This video for Kanye's song "Bound 2" is real and it really did premiere on Ellen and it all seems like a strange dream.
