Best Rant, Ever?
Category: video

james - 02/18/08 18:52
I played bass in high school orchestra so I feel your pain (e:lauren).

But I think this guy was a little light on the hate. This song deserves so much more scorn. People should get so angry listening to it that dogs walk upright, the unborn die, milk curdles, and one eyed old women foretell the coming of Satan.
lauren - 02/18/08 15:30
Oh. My. God. And I thought it couldn't get any better than totally gay for america.
This was perfect from the beginning (I played bass clarinet and we NEVER got to play melodies!) all the way till the fabulous ending...usually I get bored and turn things off but I watched this all the way through and was even laughing, out loud!
