So by now, you will have seen Rebecca Black's embarrassingly bad, over produced music video of "Friday." I personally can't wait until the time comes when I can say "it's Friday!" without hearing an echo of "Fun fun fun fun!" (or gang fight, gang fight?) Here is Rebecca Black re-imagined as heard by a lip reader:
However, I thought it is worth risking getting that song stuck in your head again to point out this: http://www.theawl.com/2011/03/arms-so-freezy-rebecca-blacks-friday-as-radical-text <------- This is a hilarious close reading of the music video that suggests Rebecca is challenging our materialistic, superficial culture to the core. Try not to overthink your own close reading this way, but appreciate the funny!
Do you feel sorry for Rebecca Black? Will people always remember her? Or is she just going through her fifteen minutes of fame? Is all the negatively towards her deserved? How has the internet enabled this? Why have so so many people watched her?
if i could heart this post i would!
