If you thought Usher ripping off the Simpsons was weird, then try this one on for size. The Village Voice‘s Zach Baron points out the striking similarities between Kanye West’s recently revealed “Monster” video and Dr. Dog’s 2008 clip for “The Ark”. Namely the way the disembodied heads and hands are presented in each video. And adding further fuel to the fire is the above screen shot, featuring stills of Dr. Dog’s video posted by West on his blog in 2008. When reached for comment, Adam Kurland, the director of “The Ark” video, did note Kanye’s clip’s “eerie similarity.” “It’s at least a very odd coincidence,” Kurland said. “It’s great that Kanye looks to independent music and artists. His blog has had some amazing content over the years and if in fact Kanye did use this video as some form of inspiration, I’m flattered. But next time he should just reach out. I would love to work with him on something.” Compare the two clips below. Dude’s been hanging out with Chris Martin too much.
