Another Good Reason Not to Immitate YouTubers
So some kids got cited by police for rapping a McDonalds drive-through order. You can see they look like criminals. If I was Nancy Grace, I’d pronounce them guilty, and save the justice system a fortune.
I’m not sure I can top this quip by AdFreak’s David Griner:
As a public service, AdFreak would like give a nugget of advice to the teens of America: If Taco Bell’s ad team has already beaten you to co-opting some lame white-boy Internet meme, it might be time to find a new prank.
Try the fart machine while stealing french fries, kids. It’s good for a laf.
First! Where’s my ducky?
Well, as lame and stupid as that is, I really disagree with them being in any legal trouble for that.
They got arrested because their song was lame.
I still crack up at RhettandLink’s video “Fast Food Folk Song (at the Taco Bell Drive-Thru)”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uwY3sjqYX0
Now that was some funny shit!
@3 Yeah, I love that one. So much better than the lame rapping.
@2
Yeah, what are we, fascists now? Do not impede the hyper-efficient money-sucking commerce of the corporate junk food outlet or we’ll arrest you?
I was wonder what they could have possibly said, then I read the AP account. Seems to me the police overreacted by citing them. A, ‘move along now boys’ warning would have sufficed.
I figure American Fork, UT has either one too many Barney Fifes on the force or the city needs the revenue.
@3 – R&L have a pass on this stuff because they are good. People who suck are not allowed to do silly things, because when they do it’s an autofail.
@5&6 – It IS Utah, where dancing isn’t allowed at night. Seriously…
Er… Kevin, did you mean ‘imitate’ or ‘immolate’?
I had the same problem when I tried to refill my Cialis prescription in iambic pentameter. Some people just have no sense of humor!
@7
Dancing at night is illegal in Utah? Wonder why. Maybe because it interferes with multiple wife fornication.
