Finally, White People Singing Motown (Wait, What?)
(via Everything Is Terrible)
Lolz. Perfect. These guys are like the Larry Flynts of music. They simply found a need that wasn't being filled, and they filled that need. Because to be fair, before the Blenders came along, racists had not been able to enjoy Motown.
This seems like it's just begging for a list of jokes. Like, other things that white people probably think they would do better than black people even though they would obviously do it so much worse and ultimately embarrass everyone. For example:
- An all-white cast remake of Glory
But I will spare you. The only thing that's a bigger waste of time than a list of dumb jokes is AN ALL-WHITE SINGING GROUP COVERING MOTOWN CLASSICS. Zing-B-C, easy as Zing-two-three.

I prefer the all-white cast remakes of Roots or The Color Purple that I made in my basement (I do not have a basement). Maybe one day I will upload those onto YouTube (I will not).

A friend of mine grew up in Lynchburg, VA (too many jokes - make your own) and the local theater company did an all-WASP version of Ragtime. "Sarah Brown-eyes" wore a lot of bronzer. Because that's the same. Also? Shtetls, now for WASPs. Their shtetl really IS america.

This is perfect for my racist father-in-law. Seriously, though, this is right up his alley. I bet they have it already!
