Ellen Degeneres and wife Portia de Rossi recreate Bound 2


Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi is a gay couple who have recreated Kanye West’s odd new video Bound 2. This new video of Kanye West is not a sequel to the 1996 cult classic featuring Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly even though the name may give that impression.
Degeneres and Portia who is her wife have made some alterations to the concept. Inspired by the new video, they have come out with their own new Christmas Card. This is a very innovative and welcome sequel or spin-off from the video and film. 

Famous gay people like Degeneres and wife De Rossi help to bring attention to gay rights and make it a part of mainstream culture. Their activities have the effect of making gay behaviour acceptable and non-problematic. This is not the only spin-off from Kanye West’s odd video and others have also created spoofs of it. James Franco and Seth Rogan have created a spoof video where they make-out. This takeoff on Kanye West’s video also has gay overtones and gay people can identify with it. This spate of videos in good humour is an entertaining and at the same creation with a social and political message embedded.
