With the official video for Fuck You Cee-lo Green returns to the diner as a scene for unrequited love. This is after the Who Will Save Your Soul? video by Gnarls Barkley of which Cee-lo makes up one half. Granted, one is much, much creepier than the other.

From the look of the video, Mr. West got a deal on the set (or digital composite) Linkin Park used for What I’ve Done and hired a crew, model, and wind machine to recreate …
