The Good
“Single Ladies” OK for single babies, too
If you haven’t seen this viral hit yet, prepare for heavy tugging of heartstrings. The video opens with a dad filming his kids in the backseat of the car singing along to Beyoncé’s Single Ladies. Cut to adorable baby brother jamming out with his older sisters. Dad points out that boy is not a single lady. Boy, devastated by the revelation, does what children do best. Enjoy the pathos.
The Bad
Bieber or Die terrifies grownups
April Fool’s Day brought out the trickery in many of us. None more than teen heartthrob/shaggy-coiffed Canuck Justin Bieber. The pop singer hijacked FunnyorDie.com, changing it to “Bieber or Die” and frightening the masses with his street edge. We’d make a joke here, but we’re too intimidated. Check out the video below.
The Ugly
Day Stripper gets fined
If you recall, last week we told you about Erykah Badu’s video for Window Seat, in which she disrobes and walks around Dealey Plaza (the site where JFK was shot). Naked artist videos, we’ve seen it all before. Well, Dallas police weren’t charmed by her birthday suit shenanigans and charged the singer with disorderly conduct. Stripping your wallet of $500 to pay the fine isn’t as fun, is it Erykah? (Warning, video NSFW).
