The Black-Eyed Peas and all who mimic them shall have to be killed, then all those so unfortunate as to have ever heard their crappy little song, and then myself. Only then shall this world be safe from this meme.

I was wondering, and it is answered here. This "hump" thing is a real song. I love not knowing some things.

Picture this: You're a young woman trying to make it as a singer. You're offered a job, singing for a "Christmas card." That's good, right? A step up. Something to add to the resume. Then you find out: you'll be singing the part of a camel offering "her hump" to Jesus. Sure, you take the job. You tell yourself, that's what a professional would do. But the scars... the scars will last a lifetime.

Dear malevolent, truly evil space aliens, I know I've written to you before on the same topic, but now would be a really good time for you to come wipe us off the face of our planet. I don't really care how you do it. You can use death rays, giant mass-driven asteroids, flesh eating nanobots, killer robots or deadly space plagues. I don't care. Just make it soon, before we commit more atrocities like the one linked to in this post. We're obviously a filthy plague and have squandered any resemblance of our birthright. Thank you.

I cannot figure out how this thing came to exist. The number of people who must have been involved -- the singers and musicians who had to record the song, the artist who had to draw the subimages and animate them, did none of these people realize what an excruciatingly bad idea it was? Or is this thing so awful that, like the lord Cthulhu, it created itself whole from the bowels of Hell?

Glad to see the War on Christmas hasn't made it into Hallmark Flash greeting cards. Imagine the stark, wretched world in which animated singing holiday hip-hop camel women in makeup don't mention the Christ child. That's what the liberals are trying to do to this country.
