Rebecca Black has been a trending topic on Twitter for over a week now. Amazing staying power!

It's Friday.

As everyone on my Facebook newsfeed (who are about 4 days too late to an Internet meme like always) keep reminding me. I need to clear out some "friends" from that thing.

Sorry to have added to your pain.

Seriously.  Her parents could afford to pay for that video, they damn well better be able to pay for a good therapist.

Twenty to thirty years from now she may be able to laugh at it.

And the money it generated for her.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!

It may be a bad song, but I'll be damned if it isn't one of the catchiest things I've ever heard.

I thought that the rapper dude who shows up in the car was MC Skat Cat, the animated cat who filthily dances with Paula Abdul in the "Opposites Attract" video, except reanimated and turned into human form.

Turns out I was wrong!

It's Ark Music Factory producer Patrice "Pato" Wilson and he has quite the biography. It's eerily similar to that of an arms dealer/blood diamond smuggler.

My friend linked a youtube of a "screamo" version of friday. I can't figure out how to link it but its definitley out there. I'm busting my gut just thinking about the tongue and cheek juxtaposition of kids music with...uh, slightly older kids music.

He had kind of a Tone Loc sound, I thought.

I like that he doesn't really actually rap at any point.

With his résumé, perhaps someone should look into what happens to his "stars" once their brief fires have burnt out.

Have douchebags already started recording ironic acoustic versions of "Friday" on Youtube yet?

Then yes, sadly, you will be damned.
