Kanye West?

I can think of literally 50 people I would've marked for over Kanye in one of those awesome cameo roles in the big battle. What a waste!

Why not Robert Downey Jr, Alec Balwin, Will Arnett, Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Colbert?

If they really wanted a musician to play that MTV anchor role then Justin Timberlake would have been fine. At least he has comedic experience.

I did love seeing Jim Carey, Sacha Baron Cohen, and John C Reilly, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler though.

It sort of comes off like you are saying "Why did they go with a famous black guy? Lots of famous white guys should have had that role over him!!!!"

But even if that isn't the case, what the hell is the big deal? I mean, they gave him the MTV VJ spot!! It's not exactly a ringing endorsement of credibility. They're mocking the entire aspect of new "journalism" in which only ratings matter, and MTV is one of the best examples of that. They only care about ratings. The MUSIC TELEVISION channel stopped showing music because Reality TV cost less and brought in more viewers. Playing the role of a VJ isn't a compliment.

I can think of 1000's of actors/celebrities that would have been a better choice then that clown Kanye.

Kanye West is a one of the finest actors and musicians the world has ever known. He even designs clothes and 'sneakers'. Plus, he's so modest and down to earth.

Oh who am I kidding? The guy's an ugly Grade A tool who doesn't realise the world thinks he's a tosser married to a fat arsed talentless lump of silicone.
