A Juggalo Christmas Carol

A juggalo Christmas album exists. This is the worst song on it.

Merry Christmas Juggalettes
Hell yeah
It’s Twiztid and Blaze
Up in this beeotch

Some background: they’re rapping clowns. More detailed background: they’re the sidekicks to the Insane Clown Posse, more popular rapping clowns. More background than you ever wanted: Blaze is a dead gangbanger that came back as a rapping juggalo zombie. I wish I came up with this.

Five Top Five of 2011 Lists

Five Worst Songs

“Moves like Jagger” by Maroon 5 – Maroon 5 somehow found a way to get worse. I have a habit of comparing bad pop music to venereal disease on this site. Since I haven’t used gonorrhea yet, this band can have the honor.

“Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO – How on Earth did this happen? The hook to this is like having my brain attacked with a digital jackhammer. I can at least understand how the chorus to something like Tik Tok can be enjoyed. But the synth in this song is engineered to cause human pain. It is my dog whistle.

“The Time (Dirty Bit)” by Satan – This song reclaimed the term “critically panned”, but I still feel that isn’t enough. I need something brutal. Old Testament level career destruction needs to occur for me to be satisfied.

“Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO – Somehow the lesser of two evils from this group. It may suck less than its big brother, but it’s still guilty of sexually assaulting my ears at parties and my eyes with its music video. I want a cash settlement.

“The View” By Lou Reed & Metallica – This isn’t so much a failure as much as it is a glorious rebellion against success. I look forward to a bold future of artistic abortions.

Youtube’s Guide to Constructive Feedback

As a freshman, I made this Nostalgia Critic ripoff. It was fashionable at the time.

The video has a long laundry list of problems. The topic is dull, the audio is mixed badly, and I clearly skipped classes in acting school. However, as something with “Batman” and “Dracula” in the title, it attracted views. If I were more marketing savvy, I would have added “Swedish Models”.

Eventually, the comments started rolling in.

Good start. My freshman ego flew.

I admired his dedication. Not his spelling, but his dedication.

Metaphysical Therapy: 11 Obscure Religions

I’m neutral towards the gods, spirits, and saints of the global religious canon. Pascal offered me a wager, but I don’t gamble. Like many others, I enjoy my pork and Sunday mornings.

But I still have an imagination. So I’ve gone out in search of the perfect religion. I’ve combed the alleys and archives of the world in search of it. After that failed, I did a quick Google search. I may have found it, but still have to present my results to a board of my pretentious peers. Until then, enjoy this list of smaller faiths I’ve encountered in my studies.

Dionysus Reformists: The exclusive worship of the Hellenic god of wine, revelry, and hangovers. Popular on college campuses.

Orthodox Dadaism: Followers build readymade holy books from the scrolls of other faiths.

The Cult of the Self: The worship of the universe’s most noble, brilliant, and beautiful being.
