Kanye West is never one to hold back his thoughts, but sometimes, it would be best if he just stuck a plunger in it.

During a recent podcast with Bret Easton Ellis, Kanye criticized Zappos—the online retailer—for selling, what he sees as, low-quality products. "I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos that he's trying to tell me what I need to focus on," Kanye said during the podcast. "Meanwhile, he sells all this shit product to everybody, his whole thing is based off of selling shit product." Seems like a pretty well thought out critique, there Yeezus. Anyway, word reached Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, and he came up with a spot-on hilarious response to Kanye by releasing a totally new product of the turd kind.

The new listing is for a $100,000 "Sh-t Product" from Zappos, topped off with the perfect description that subtly refers to Yeezus. 

Interested in buying sh-t product? You've come to the right place! Here at Zappos.com, we happily sell sh-t products to everybody! This is the throne, everyone has been watching. Whether you're #1 or #2, your clique will show no mercy, even in Paris. The perfect gift for the man that has everything.

Check out the video and some top reviews:

 

The product description goes on to call out Kanye for his lack of substance in his argument (since calling someone's products "shit" doesn't actually say much without some evidence behind it.)

"Considered a 'safety zone' when in arguments. Makes giant arguments seem much smaller."

Boom. Take notes, kids.
