Anonymous threatens to take down Kanye West

Referring to "the hacker group Anonymous" is a bit silly given that anyone can represent the group, but here we are: someone in a Guy Fawkes mask has threatened to use the resources of the group - who have previously attacked bigots, corrupt corporations, child pornography rings, and oppressive foreign governments - to destroy Kanye West. Why? Because, uh, he married Kim Kardashian, or something.

The Guy in the mask makes a bunch of juvenile claims about Kanye West. He's a puppet of the entertainment industry used to keep people stupid and complacent as a pop star. He doesn't know when to shut up. He's a spoiled child. He has no sense of morality and would do anything for money. Here's a particularly absurd part:

"You seem comfortable with your wife as she continues to milk society’s attention with their own controllable obsession with sex. By approving this irresponsible behavior, you are accepting the reality that one day your daughter will face the repercussions of this photo with classmates in school. You also are condoning this to the young girls who follow Kim on Twitter and witnessed her success as she continuously rises to fame and stardom using her body."

Creepy! They say they used to respect Kanye, but now "You waste the powerful opportunity and pollute the planet even more with your bickering, loud mouth, overgrown ego, annoying influence, and mission-less message. Fashion shows are not going to make the world a better place, Mr. West."

Yawn. Go back to your basements, you dumb nerds.
