Would You Like To Play A Game?

This is a rap about a supercollider (via BoingBoing). The way the game works is you start watching it and see how far you can get without jamming sewing needles in your ears and face.

Can we just all agree to stop with the fake raps. I know that there are parody songs written in every genre, but somehow the fake raps are the most insufferable. It's like children's music designed specifically to raise an army of sociopathic misanthropes. Look, I love learning new things, but if this is the way you choose to convey your information, I will remain so stupid about your knowledge. But not quite as stupid as your fake rap.

I have started a petition to end fake rap, which you can sign here. It's time someone took a stand against Big Fake Rap.

I was reading the article and I thought, "Oh, Videogum, it can't be that bad."

I started watching it and I couldn't get 20 seconds into the actual rapping part. Also, if you haven't noticed, these fake raps are always written by white people.

I got about 1 minute in and had to stop it. The white people dancing in lab coats was insufferable.

I also second the "fake rap" for a double dog dare.

Didn't they do this at the end of Bill Nye the Science Guy sometimes? Sooo 12 years ago.

I made it to 1:28. But the only thing I win is shame.

P.S. MC Hawking really sold out.

P.P.S. At least when they make that black hole those guys die first.
