WTF?
— SPADES-OF: ACE

Or should I ask W-T: F?

Bookworm asks if maybe a little levity and distraction isn't a good thing right now.

So, to that end: A retirement-home chorus is led by a very douchey-looking choirmaster to do a medley of rap/hip-hop songs including selections by Outkast and MC Hammer and Usher, and, um, Eminem.

Upbeat takeaway message: You're never too old to look extremely foolish.

At the end of the clip, they promise/threaten that their next medley will feature "Fergilicious" by Fergie.

This is probably one of those "Yeah we're deliberately doing weird/odd/foolish stuff to make people go WTF? and get our video to go viral," but in that case: Mission accomplished.

Funny But More Relevant:

A previous one had Sarah Palin questioning Obama's authorship of Dreams From Bill Ayers' Father, I mean Dreams From My Father, of course. I get those confused sometimes.

Thanks to PhillipJ.

Less Silly, More Neat: Street art (and animation) featuring a skeleton made of snow.

Thanks to new cob rdbrewer.

11 OMG. I couldn't watch the whole video. When the choir was trying to sing in the beginning it sounded like all their dentures were slipping.

I don't get this? Is there a post somewhere about the joke?

Posted by: lorien1973 at January 11, 2011 11:04 AM (IhQuA)

13 It's a good thing they didn't sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." That would incite genocide, rapine and funny midwestern haircuts.

14 Yeah it was the big joke yesterday, I should stop with it. Scan down for Loughner's mugshot and then read the updates that follow that.

You should have watched to the end. They sing "It's getting hot in here...so take off all your clothes" and then proceed to remove their robes.

We believed Fox said it, we just didn't believe they actually did it.

And it has already being proven wrong since the charges have been filed in federal court now.

Because the snapping of their hips would drown out the music.

the Palin dance at the end was almost sexy, considering the poorly articulated cartoon joints on her.

Here's a completely irrelevant but funny line from the Amos n Andy radio show: "Oh, yeah, I hears what you're saying all right, I just don't believe you're saying what I'm hearing..!" Actually, this can be applied to nearly anything you hear a liberal say during a crisis...

52 Yesterday on the bus, I was dropping two 4th graders off at their stop, when one turned to his buddy and said, "Dude, yo momma's here to pick you up."

I looked at him in the mirror and said, "Dude, that's the worst "Yo Momma" joke I've ever heard..."

They both looked at me like, "WTF??" for about half a beat, and then fell out laughing

69 I think "vitriol" is the word of the day on the free calendar distributed by Democrats to all their buddies.

Back in 2000 it was "gravitas."

They like to use the words off the calendar because they think it makes them sound more intelligent and important, just like their role models in academia.
