Just a little addendum to my last video. Apologies for the thoughtless reference to having a seizure, I shouldn’t joke around about that so casually since I’ve never actually gone through it.

go ninja, go ninja, go!
You know, I have often wondered why my TiVo records some of the things it records, and have often asked it, “Are you NUTS??” But after seeing what your TiVo did to you, I feel I owe mine an apology. Because…wow.
Wow. Also? Damn.
It’s amazing to me that that lot would use some bastardized version of hip hop to spread its message but there ya go. We live in a wacky world. She put in a lot of time and effort for that ish too. The clapping chorus of wtfery was the best part though.
We both most definitely had the same face when she started rapping…. that “wtf is she doing??” look.
It’s National Poetry Month. I say good for her, stepping up to the mike for the first time like that. And thanks for fighting the urge to wear every gold chain in your jewelry box while doing it.
And hey, now when you confront artists who don’t respect the craft, you can tell them that they rap like some white lady on Fox News.
Actually i really enjoyed watching the Black guy on the left of the screen.
And your remix was quite good.
That was a lot of wrongness, there. Sorry, man, so sorry.
You’re tivo is trying to “learn your personality” and ” predict what you want to watch?” Seriously? Is this Judgement day? Are the machines becoming self-aware? I think that your Tivo is being reprogrammed by Michael Steele
True story, I want one of those shirts now.
another great post.
but. as someone who has epilepsy, the seizure comment was a sad-cringe moment and not as funny as the rest of your piece.
Honestly, the secondhand embarrassment from that little rap was so much for me that it was bordering on cognitive dissonance levels of uncomfortableness. Your remix made it a bit more tolerable though.
victoria: i hear you, and i apologize!
Oh god, that remix was hysterical.
“You rap like some white lady on Fox News” > “You rap like wocka flocka flame”
I love you, Jay!
oh maaaaan
thankfully I don’t have tivo
thanks, jay.
it sounds like your tivo is sabotaging you. its the rise of the machines!
I particularly like the use of Ninja Rap circa Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
“She mean’t no disrespect”???? did you drink the Kool-aid?
one more reason NOT to buy a Tivo.
