OMG! It's Just So Totally Awful!

It came out of nowhere, and conquered the internet.  You know what I mean; Rebecca Black's "Friday" video.  Never heard of her yesterday, she's everywhere today.   Ah, the power of the web!

Turns out this inescapable little video is a product of one Ark Music Factory, an LA record label that seems intent on producing an army of Justin Biebers and Miley Cyruses to unleash on us all.  Judging from the "Friday" video,  they ain't even close.

I must say I do feel sorry for the young girl singer, Rebecca Black.  One is not able to tell from this video if the kid can really even sing; the whole song is a monotone, autotuned drone.  Imagine being a teenager and having articles written about your first single like "Is The Worst Video Ever Made?". She'll probably hide under her bed for the next six months.

And a note to whoever wrote this little ditty- it needs more words!  You can't make a decent song by repeating the same few inane phrases over and over.  And think about what you're saying!  She can't decide where to sit in the car?  Such insight, such depth of feeling.

Haven't seen it?  Here it is.  And I warn you, as awful as it is, it's one of those things that once it's in your head, it'll NEVER leave!
