Remember when that unfinished Kanye video leaked and he got all "FUK U" about it? Well, the finished, Nick Knight-directed version is here, and it's interactive! But it's also, uh, pretty much exactly like the version that leaked. Interactivity is limited to slowing the song and video down--which is fine,…
