Jimmy Kimmel's Spoof Commercial For Kanye West's DONDA [VIDEO]

Although Kanye West doesn't tweet consistenly, he's never one to disappoint whenever he logs on. Just take a look for yourself. After going on a huge rant about America's education system, he mentioned that he's starting a think-tank, creative firm named after his late mother Donda and started tweeting all over the place.

While Kanye did make a few valid points in his rant, who couldn't help but poke fun at it?  Jimmy Kimmel surely capitalized and created a spoof promotional video for the company using the rapper's actual tweets. HILARIOUS.
