The Cliche "Best of" List
so its a little past that time of the year again when everyone complies their "best of" lists and everyone else either...
a.) disagrees
or
b.) finally takes the time to appreciate the things on the lists they chose to ignore the rest of the year.....just because someone ELSE told them that it was worth their while.

on to the next [bizarro idea]....
So.....the release of Jay-Z newest music video "On To The Next One" has the over-analyzing, YouTube-evangelists out for blood.
seriously people....
......if Jay-Z is the antichrist, well he better stop retiring.....and get going on that whole apocalypse thing. maybe that's what all these Blueprints are for? if the antichrist turns out to be one of the highest grossing rap artists of the past 2 decades, then i will be a little bummed. thats way too easy.
what surprises me the most is that it's Jay-frickin-Z.
of all the people in the world?
now if they were saying that tyra banks wants everyone to worship her instead of Jesus...i'd understand it a bit more. or that One Tree Hill has subliminal messaging to worship the devil...i would accept it....there is no other explanation as to why that show is still on.
Jay-Z is one of the tamest rappers out there. and while he may not identify with the Christian religion....he is hardly the antichrist.
ok heres the awesome, beyond awesome....beautiful video that they are claiming is an offering to Satan
yep. well.....can anyone say "treatment"? the entire plotline of this video is suppose to be haunting and evil....he's talking about the ways of making money....thats evil. he's an entertainer. an actor. maybe he's a mason. who's cares? he makes art. and art is defined by the viewer. it can only ever be...what it is that the viewer wants it to be.
ok here is the crazy analysis...
and a BETTER one. hahah
yep....on to the next one....
Let the Beat Build...
This is a crazy amazing student video....it is all one take AND the audio was recorded live as the crew was filming. I'm totally impressed.

While i find most of these hilarious....for some reason the winner for tonight was the maze scare pranks. I remember the first time I saw one of those stupid things and almost died, but my reactions was not near this funny. What is about people being scared that is so hilarious? We live in a sick world.
