Cake vs. Kanye

photo by massdistractionThis is so over-the-top I almost wonder if Kanye is putting us on.

The rapper, who recently co-wrote a 52-page book of “thoughts and theories,” said he is a “proud non-reader” and “would never want a book’s autograph.” (Read more in the Reuters article.)

I’m not normally one to get all worked up about the fact that kids today aren’t reading as much as previous generations (and I’m not entirely convinced about that) but Kanye’s statements got me a little worked up. They remind me of all the kids in middle school who took pride in being stupid and made me ashamed of being “smart.”

Fortunately, Cake Wrecks has come to my rescue with a fabulous collection of book-related cakes.

Mmm, cake. Cake wins, no question. It always does, unless it goes up against pie, and then pie wins.

    ARGH!!! Kanye!!! Well, hopefully he will also spend some time explaining to all his fans that want to be just like him why they won’t and how much it will hurt their futures if they are non-readers like he is. Well done Kanye. Grrr

    It’s delicious hypocrisy. “Books suck, but buy mine.” It’ll probably work, too.
