Why not just disinter Gene Kelly's corpse, adorn it with a top-hat and raincoat, then have the rapper of the moment kick it into in a rain puddle and then using Kelly's thigh-bones as drumsticks, beat out the latest hip tune on the roof of the Volkswagen?

I mean, at least that would be more respectful.

A. That's pretty harsh, O.
B. It's a doublepost.

It's ok, I'm sure the blood hasn't fully returned to your brain yet.

Heh, distracted.

Oh, and just to maintain a theme, I'm still self-referentially posting on soon-to-be-deleted posts. Welcome to the club!

The phrase "you can't take it with you" now refers to your likeness as well.
Do you think anyone has "no digital recreations" clauses built into their wills?

P_G, before this post gets nuked, I'd just like to say "Well done!" for the post title.

That scene (from the movie) is almost holy to me -- the whole movie is pure job -- and I've had a long-standing loathing of modern-day rap and hip-hop.

But that is one pretty interesting bit of f/x.

I somehow missed this the first time around.

And to think I used to like Volkswagen.

I'm going to go find those ad-men and shove a shotgun in their mouth like a big black cock of death.

I am at work and people can see me and they must be wondering why I am struggling to hold my shit together and there's no way I can tell them it has anything to do with big black cocks of death.

Absolutely no way.

People, please. I know this ad ranks up there with genocide and pedophilia, but can you try to save your moral outrage for something important?
