Seriously. Tears. That was... wrong-funny.

I think they just called the white men in coats for me.

(I'll feel shitty if I'm supposed to be taking this seriously...)

Oh, don't be silly. "I wandered lonely as a cloud" was penned by Peter Gabriel in The Colony of Slippermen. Whoever this "Word" dude is stole it from them.

Word.

That was awesome! I completely lost it when the "Respect Wordsworth" came on the screen at the end. You just know Sasha Baron Cohen is behind this... somehow.

Pain! Pain! Pain!

One step closer to the Idiocracy.

Making great things dumber for the dumb ... is so wrong.

Giggled insanely all the way through. So very, very wrong, but probably the unintentionally funniest thing I saw all day.

The genre of 'nature rap' is surprisingly underpopulated.

But, seriously, money changed hands here. People were paid to make this. I suspect tongues were so far in cheeks that there was danger of asphyxiation.
