Sign the Petition to Name a British Train Station After Kanye West

Some people really want a train station to be named after Kanye West. A Change.org petition to rename a train station is gaining some steam as it nears its goal of 1,500 signatures.

Mark Kilner, who started the petition, wants the Canterbury West station in Kent, England to be renamed the Kanye West Station. The petition is incredibly sarcastic with Kilner's tongue-in-cheek explanation for why this is necessary.

"Kanye (wealth be upon him) has been not always been afforded the respect he deserves," Kilner says. "We cannot undo past wrongs such as retroactively giving Taylor Swift’s Grammy Award to Beyoncé any more than we can save Jesus from crucifixion (although technically God kind of took care of that), but we can show our appreciation in other ways, and what better start than renaming Canterbury West Station to Kanye West Station?"

"I see this as the first step towards a brighter future when the whole of Canterbury is renamed after Kanye (wealth be upon him)," Kilner continues. "Visitors can come and go via Kanye West Station or Kanye East Station (or indeed, Kanye Bus Station), pilgrims can flock to Kanye Cathedral to pay homage to the great man, and the sick and the injured can be healed at Kent and Kanye Hospital (I’d love to see the 'Kent' in that last one changed to 'Kim' but I accept that might be a step too far for some people)."

So far, 1,234 people have signed the petition in supporting of renaming the station after Yeezy.
