Oprah Pretends That Sarah Palin Is An Actual Human Being

thumbnail: Oprah Pretends That Sarah Palin Is An Actual Human Being

Look, let's be real for once. Regardless of who you voted for in the last election--John McCain or that TERRORIST--or which political party you believe has the best ideas to lead our country through the converging tidal waves of 2012, there is one person who emerged during last fall's historic election about whom none of us should be confused: Sarah Palin. Political ideologies, economic models of communal or individual prosperity, and virulent hatred of certain minority groups' desire to be in love with each other aside, that woman is one of the worst assholes in the entire world. Period. When it comes to that, we are purple*! So what is concerning about yesterday's interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show is not so much having to look at this animatronic nightmare's face spewing some of the worst lies anyone has ever heard, although that is difficult, but it was the simple legitimacy that Oprah's extended interview with her offered to the concept that she is a normal human being who deserves attention and dignity and respect. Nope!

Bangs Addresses The Haters

A couple of weeks ago, we all enjoyed the video for Bangs's "Take U 2 Da Movies," and since then it has gone on to become a Genuine Internet Sensation. Everyone loves Bangs's gentle lyrics about buying popcorn, not to mention his tight flow. (Take notes, Chamillionaire.) He's our generation's Eli Porter! Now, an Australian news site has an interview with the Best Rapper on the Internet. From Channel 9:

A 19-year-old Melbourne rapper says he "feels amazing" after his song "Take U 2 Da Movies" -- an ode to cinema dates and popcorn -- became a global internet sensation.

The music clip has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on YouTube since it was featured on popular viral video websites this week.

Ajak Chol, aka Bangs, told ninemsn he has been offered several record deals with major labels in Australia and the US since his career skyrocketed.

"It's crazy. First there were 30 or 40 views. Now it's getting more and more every day," Bangs said.

"Hip hop is in my heart and soul, I'm so happy."

Yessssss! It's the feel good story of the morning! You the best for this one, Bangs. But there is more than just joy in Bangs's heart, there is also some words for the haters:

The Videogum "Louis C.K. Promise": Louis Interviewed By Tavis Smiley Admittedly, the interview is kind of boring, but I think that's more of a Tavis Smiley problem than a Louis C.K. problem. Which is exactly why there is no Videogum "Tavis Smiley Promise."
