So according to Wikipedia, which we all no to be a bastion of truth. Yet in a jam it does actually have a ring of truth to it, I found the Rebecca Black, who sings the "Friday" song we all love to hate, is actually 13 years old.
Now, here is what you need to keep in mind before you let your brain EXPLODE! SHE IS 13!!!! Sure, she has at least one parent that can afford the two thousand dollars that this "upstart" record company charged to make a High Definition Video of this cheese written song.
Sure, the lyrics are crap, the pop synth recorded is worse than early Daft Punk and you would shoot yourself in the head to hear the chorus (FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY) at the "Gahden", well, with the way the Bruins have played recently, maybe a bullet in the brain would be better, Regardless, Friday can't be any worse that the techno they play when Boston scores. But that's a personal opinion.
Still, this song is truly bad. My best friend, who's family owns a music store and has listened to all music since 1985 even said this song sucks.
Now, Miss Black has said that "the song they wanted her to sing was about Adult Love and (she) hadn't felt that yet" and granted I am paraphrasing, even that screams that she thinks she is better than what she is.
Ok, with all your 26 mil views (at the time of this posting) and your appearance on GMA to "address" all the ill will against you...I have one question for you. Since when did some Youtube sensation have to address the nasty comments someone got from their music video they posted online.
That is a serious problem that we as American's have. We all have such vitriolic sentiments against these "overnight sensations" that they seem to need/have/are forced to respond to their "critics" that we empower them. And from there they go on to atleast heights that the most of us critics will never know. And from there we tear them down till they are pulling a Charlie Sheen and think that if we are paying 100 dollars per seat to hear him say "I'm Bi-Winning" and look at his Godessi/Pornstar/Model women in his life who also have no discernible talents then so be it.
That is how bad we have become as a nation. We applaud mediocrity. A LA Sheen, Rebecca Black and any other Auto tuned starlet/star. Yet most of the truly talented stars we treat like they have leprosy. If they don't have a sex tape (thank you Miss Hilton and Miss Kardashian) or are the offspring of a famous celebrity (and I don't consider a famous defense lawyer or an olympic sprinter to be a celebrity) then we don't care what anyone has to say or do unless they are getting paid 10k to tweet what they are doing, speaking for, endorsing or running for.
You know what would happen if i tweeted "Hey all, I am running a 10k for the survivors of the Japan catastrophe."? If i were a member of the social elite, they would probably ask me where Japan is on the world map.
In that case id say its a "country in the pacific ocean, near Russia/China. They just got hit by the 5th largest earthquake on record and suffered a great tsunami." Then most of these Socialites would probably point to the Philippines , where the last great tsunami, or atleast the last GREAT TSUNAMI hit, and killed over 200k people, where most of them tried to send most of their donations to because they needed to restore the resorts that they loved to spend most their time at.
That is what is truly wrong right now. We are more concerned with what is going on in our neck of the woods, "Oh no! What happens if the radiation travels in microscopic amounts to our west coast? Oh, its not gonna make it to California? It's gonna hit north of California? Hell, the worst that's gonna happen to us "Americans" is that it will really hit the top half of Washington State? Well screw them and their grunger musicians!"
We don't seen to care what happens to us as long as it doesn't directly affect us.
"Oh the Nuclear Plant that is having problems is in Japan, screw them. We only Dropped the first and second, and only Atomic bombs on them, and promised to militarily take care of them since 1945. But since they have their own Nuclear grid, screw them. We can worry about them, we have to now worry about all the Nuclear Plants we have here in America. Even though none of them are under any distress from domestic, foreign, or natural disasters. Our leadership feels that it is more important to focus on us American right now than help the Japanese, where all the good stuff comes from. And that is meant to be Ironically Humorous. And I say "Ironic" because of this. Most of our computers that control our Nuclear/Coal/Gas and any other "power" plant relies on some form of computer control that is most likely developed in Japan. That is the true irony here. All of the equipment that measured the earthquake, that is supposed to help "us" (us as americans) to help others is all dependant on Japanese tech. Just about everything now a days is based on tech coming out of Japan.
Well, i think thats a lot to digest right now. Granted something tells me that the server that this blog is based out of in Japan somewhere. And thank god us americans still have a place to rant about how we only got a double mocha latte instead of a triple.
I realize i am drunkenly ranting but I think i am at least a decent point. I am willing to take my licks, but are you?
Are you willing to do anything for Japan aside from donating your 5 dollars buy texting it from your cell phone?
Ask me the same!
