Don't talk a different language 'a', talk our language, so we can listen to you...

Ahh...Spring is in the air...

So I just spent the past 3 hrs of my life on YouTube. Now, since our friends at Viacom (among others) are suing Google for copyright infringement, a lot of my favorite videos are no longer available. So we're left with endless (mostly idiotic) amateur home video/digi cam/cellphone clips.

Searching for Rappin 4 Tay, I came across what could best be described as gang-montages--photographs of homeboys/gang 'lifestyle' edited together using cheesy video creator software that generates a screen saver type clip--complete with background music as the photos fade in-out. It started off with gangs from Northern Cali and ended in this disturbing clip from L.A.--where else? What's even more disturbing is the reaction of the people watching/filming. And the posted comments for these videos are no less sickening--hell, the only place one can find more hateful comments are on right-wing blogs!



The line about using our language so that we can listen...profound.
