Read a book. (language NSFW) BET is apparently airing this PSA aimed at young urban black men.

I'm pretty much speechless. And that's sayin' a lot.

If only guys would record badly-dubbed Star Trek parodies for Youtube. That would be cool.

Am I supposed to feel bad for quasi-defending Michael Bay at this point?

On the other hand, I'm not quite prepared to believe BET was going to air this. And I am prepared to accept that this is some kind of fucked up conspiracy. After all, the first thing Viacom did when they bought BET was fire Tavis Smiley.

Wow.

The Schoolhouse Rock of my childhood seems pretty lame right now.

I missed it the first time, so I'll take the opportunity to say "thanks, I enjoyed it" before this gets axed. (I got a kick out of the pairing of Donald Goines and Zora Neale Hurston, though I don't know if Zora would have.)

Recipe for getting posted to the sidebar: Record parody song "Read a Blog" and post it to music
