He wasn't very convincing, himself.

What's worse is when they do that AND the pouty face that is kinda scrunched up to the side.

If they could do the gang signs with the weird face while holding the camera over their heads and scrawling something on their boobs (preferably while dancing to "Riding Dirty" or "Bringing Sexy Back"), no one would need to write out the 10,000,000 names of god--the stars would go out of their own accord and the singularity will have reached.

Hey, I beat Mefi to something! Yowza!

Should I front page the Junior High Musical starring a young Paula Abdul? It's got that soul-puckering Itty Bitty Titty Committee which I think would go over well.

It's no worse than that ironic thumbs up with a really big smile that everyone in the world seems to do when posing in front of something "funny."
I hate that more.

The Paula Abdul link is amazing.

This actually made me laugh. And I needed a laugh.

See which gangs these young white females represent.

Frankly, I had no idea that the gangs had spread so far and wide. I fear for suburbia.

That goes with the stupid face-of-the-day, eyes rolled hard to the side and up with the tongue pressing hard against that same inside cheek.

As an asside, I saw this adorable video of a little kid saying that his baby brother was bleeding. He was saying "blood! Baby blood!" and his dad was laughing, so the kid goes "NOT FUNNY, BLOOD!"

I thought it was really cute, but it seems to have been deleted.

also.

He's pretty fly for a white guy.

maxweldon -- it's the 10,000,000,000 names of God. Lost a few orders of magnitude there. You print out just ten million names of God, and you probably just get a solar eclipse or something.

You gotta take "gang signs" with a major grain of salt these days.

Where I live in Denver, all the kids at North high will throw their sign, the kids from the East side will throw theirs, etc, and this stuff could even lead to fights and what not, but to say that these signs are "gang signs" doesn't capture the idea very well.

To the white suburbanite, gang sign == homicidal killer cult of scary brown people. It doesn't mean that to actual kids that grow up in the hood (many of whom I know, and they throw signs, and they are not in any gangs).

When I was a kid I would sometimes visit my dad, who lived in Mesquite, Texas during the summer and other school breaks. My next door neighbor was almost exactly the same age as me (born in 1980, and in the same grade as me) and he would tell me stories about how the middle and elementary school were divided into "gangs" of "punks" and "new wavers" (?!) and some other splinter groups. Like everyone in the school was divided into these subgroups.

This was a suburban school, and Mesquite is literally a suburb. The whole thing was preposterous. I ended up taking a few days of class at these schools (or course they had more days of school in Texas then in Iowa, since they seem to hate children down there) and they were a joke compared to what I was used to in Iowa.

You know, this is so tragic there should be a wikipedia article about it, but I don't have time to create one...maybe someone here could create one...

Makes me wistful for the days when white chicks would carry around dead rabbits instead. Or maybe that was Irish immigrants. I cannot remember, but you get my point.

This white chick, gang sign nonsense is just after the increase of anal gaping in porn at the top of my list of Things That I See A Lot More Of Than I Used To But Really Need To Stop. Now.

I'm throwing up a gang sign right now. It only uses one finger. Can you guess which one?

Being from Texas I can say we don't hate children. They are really quite tasty.

Is it wrong that I want to slap every single person throwing a gang sign in those photos?

It's wrong, isn't it?

Lanolin and a good horse-hair comb-out and I'm fine.

That "My boobs are OK" video makes me ashamed to be a Norwegian. Seriously, I'm glad I moved from there.

I thought I saw a girl I once knew in one of these pictures. She was a girl who liked her blow, once passed out drunk in my friend's bed and pissed herself, and then disappeared from our lives.

Turned out it wasn't her.

This is one of those cultural artifacts that archeologists of the year 3000 will find, and wonder what the f*** US culture was about in the 21st century.

All I could think of,whilst watching the video, was that the CG character doing the singing is not very realistic.

Proof that a real human can exist in the uncanny valley.
posted by acetonic at 3:44 AM on April 5, 2007


I thought that was great. The coup de grace was when the guy was singing with the cup of coffee in his hand.
