It didn’t take long for Kanye West’s twitter, which he started just one week ago, to be given a new purpose. Paul Sabourin, of the musical comedy duo Paul and Storm (who were responsible for #wookieleaks as well), replaced the text of a New Yorker cartoon with one of Kanye’s tweets, and the glorious hashtag #KanyeNewYorkerTweets was born.  Urlesque tracked down Paul and got an interview.  You can read the whole thing there, but here’s one quote from him:

The pretentious explanation: Kanye’s tweets are more or less raw id (unfiltered, portraying base emotions and simple thoughts) and New Yorker cartoons are almost entirely superego (carefully considered, ‘quiet’ presentation).
The simple explanation: it just struck me as funny at 3 a.m. Luckily, unlike most 3 a.m. inspirations, this one actually seems to hold up. [Urlesque]

Below is a gallery of some of my favorites.  Sorry there weren’t 83 exclamation points and a link to an absurdly expensive product in this post, as there should be in anything Kanye-related.
