Best fake rants of the week
If you’ve been anywhere near YouTube, you’ve probably see this oaf in Brooklyn who does improvised rants from the secure comfort of his home rabbit hole, which desperately needs a visit from the Queer Eye guys. Bad enough that people forward his videos — which “take on” immigrants, bad service, terrorism, and so forth, with stale diatribes packed with profanity. Worse that he’s gotten so much publicity — up to and including being featured in yesterday’s story on NPR about Google’s purchase of YouTube.
(Much as I loathe adding to “The Big Man’s” web traffic, here’s the URL. It’s my understanding that enraged postal employees especially forward these videos.)
This morning I saw a video by someone doing a riposte that, as crude and obvious as it is, made me laugh. Here it is.
I dutifully forwarded that to a good friend who is an unraged (not en-raged) postal employee, and one who suffers from getting the original inflammatory racist videos forwarded to him. Here’s his own low-tech rant:
“Hey, this is The Old Guy from South Jersey, and I wanna tell ya about method actors. They stink! If ya wanna act, make it look like acting. What the f#@< is all this crap about looking like you're not acting? I pay my money to rent a movie and some a$$h@le is on the screen acting like he's not acting. What the hell is that about?"
Makes sense, doesn’t it?
