Kanye West has lost it.

Since the release of his album "808 and Heartbreaks," Mr. West has been talked about more for his failures rather than his successes. I don't think I even need to mention the whole VMA thing, but this week he released by far the most bizarre thing I think he has ever done.

Spike Jonze, director of the recent critically acclaimed film adaptation "Where The Wild Things Are," was asked by Kanye to collaborate on a sort of music video/short film after Jonze put together the stunning "Flashing Lights" music video for Kanye's "Graduation" album.

The result is "We Were Once a Fairytale," an 11-minute video masterpiece which is absolutely ridiculous, in a good way.

The video starts out with a very inebriated Kanye in a club. After making a fool of himself by yelling at random club-goers, singing an out-of-pitch accompaniment to his song "See You In My Nightmares," and hitting on different women, he heads of to his room, where he has sex with a random woman.

Next thing you know 'Ye wakes up with his pants gone and immediately runs to the bathroom to get rid of the alcohol in his system by puking hundreds of rose petals. He then takes a knife, stabs himself, and pulls out a tiny demon rodent thing, symbolizing his inner demon that strives for attention even through infamous occasions.

The climatic end to the video is the death of the small rodent while Kanye looks on teary-eyed and remorseful to see his little self die.

If that just sounded totally weird and difficult to understand, don't worry; it took me awhile to figure out what in the world was going on. But once you see the meaning of the video that Jonze and West put together, it is an ingenious way for Kanye to react to all the recent criticism and put it in the past.

Now let's just hope that Kanye has officially put away his demon, and we will never have to see that crazy rodent thing ever again.

Tell me what you guys think. Genius or just pointless?
