Spike Jonze seems to have played out the fantasy of many people post-VMAs, as the acclaimed director gives Kanye West a big old slap across the face in an outtake from the duo's 'Once Upon a Fairy Tale' video that emerged earlier this month. West's incessant texting was enough to drive Jonze to violence ... at least for video purposes. See For Yourself:In the video, Jonze and West are seen in a bathroom in between scenes from 'Fairy,' when West refuses to stop texting and checking his phone as Jonze tells him how he sees the next scene taking place. After discussing the texting with West, Jonze becomes irritated, and eventually throws a smack towards West's face.
In the original version of 'Fairy Tale,' which was filmed before West's infamous MTV Video Music Awards outburst in which he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, was supposed to be released the week prior to the VMAs but was delayed for unknown reasons.
Thanks to the backlash against West in the weeks following the awards show tantrum, the release of the video was delayed even further.
In 'Fairy Tale,' a drunken West is seen on his birthday playing up what many view as his character flaws: his bravado, ego and cockiness. He parades around a club yelling about his song being played, drunkenly dances, and later encounters a suicidal demon in the bathroom.

Kanye is a douche...and he hates white people.
what pisses me off in the video is that Spike Jonze participated in it. Serious? I used to like that guy (Spike, not Kanye), I don't know why he'd stoop so low.
Didn't Kanye cried for chicken a couple of weeks ago? and now he is letting someone slap him? Please! This guy has no idea what else to do to get ATTENTION!
i know a lot of white guys that would like to slap him for dissin Taylor...she should have been the one who got to slap him!
Kanye who? Spike who?
How is this even news? Seriously if you believed that...you should slap yourself.

The least talented have to do stupid things to get noticed. Bottom line: who cares.
I'm not making excuses for Kanye, but folks the guy 'ain't right'. He needs help mentally, big time. And he wasn't right, way before his mother passed away, so that's no excuse.
His upbringing went wrong, he was never told life doesn't revolve around him. He is a sick little puppy!
The video was a farce, just like Kanye himself.
thank you LOL..you said that right
this is as funny as it gets you made my day thanks
Thanks buddy. I couldn't agree more.
No, it wasn't a real slap...BUT, on behalf of ALL OF US, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN!
Ya, little, DISRESPECTFUL PUNK!

You got that right. If they want to shoot that thing again, let me stand in for Spike.
If you think that look real, you need a reality check.
Kayne, let him actually slap you next time, we might buy it then!

I was hoping and wishing it was real when I opened dis up and I get dis fake nonsense

Yeah, me too. I had hoped it was going to be someone getting to him and really letting him have it. Too bad. I'm sure his bank account is taking a beating. That's where it is going to hurt for the rest of his punk-assed life.
He should be slapped with a baseball bat.
