Oh
how clever-clever we sniping internet sorts are! If anyone dares to try
and make something of their lives, we’re always on-hand to belittle,
chide and generally decapitate anyone who has the cheek to stick their
stupid heads above the parapet.And we don’t just store up our ire for adults! No siree! Rebecca Black who is, like, 4 years old or something, has been getting it in the neck over her video, ‘Friday’.
How we chuckle at her misfortune! Right? Wait! What? While you may think that her mother wasted a perfectly good $2,000 cheque by cutting the song/video, you’ll be disappointed to learn that all your sarcasm is making the youngster $27,000. Per week.
The child viral sensation has surpassed the 30,000,000 page views and it doesn’t look like it is going to stop any time soon.
$27,000 per week to you and me. $27,000 and increasing.
That’s the amount of money being earned from people simply saying that ‘Friday’ is the worst music video ever, despite the fact it absolutely isn’t the worst video ever. Nor is it the worst song ever recorded.
In fact, this video here beats Black’s ‘Friday’ hands-down on both fronts as at least Rebecca has the excuse of naivety and youth on her side.
Watch this.
Not that Rebecca Black needs defending.
That’s because you’re all making her wildly wealthy, which means she can make even more pop videos to annoy you with.
Shit. That’s almost punk-rock.
