Whose fans are dumber?




Make a test here.
Stupid Fight can't go out and administer an intelligence test to each person that's sending messages to a celebrity. So instead, it estimates based on several stupid indicators. Are they using twenty exclamation marks in a row? Do they endlessly use the abbreviation 'OMG'? Do they seem incapable of working out where their Shift key is? These indicators have a strong correlation with the message, and its sender, being stupid.

Einstein used excessive exclamation points all the time. His papers had to be gone over and retyped constantly because of this. Isaac Newton is credited with popularizing the expression (or at least its acronym) OMG which he used in several surviving letters. So you can never tell.

Hah, that's rich.

Who's MCHammer?

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Beats me, but he was on a list of "celebrity twitters", so I guess he's known.

Miserere said...

Now seriously, you DO know who MC Hammer is, right Eo? Right...?

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

So far as I'm aware, he's one of those predominantly black singers who don't really sing, but rather speak rhythmically and rhymingly into the microphone. Their art often has a social message, and also often quite "adult" language.

Hammer's music wasn't like that. It didn't have any message, and I don't recall any swearing, it was pretty harmless. It's gotten progressively worse.

Wow, hard to imagine rap without a social message or swearing. What *would* it be about, gardening?

I don't know, the same stuff most popular songs are about - nothing. You be the judge. Download Hammer's hits. I think there were only two - "U Can't Touch This" and "2 Legit 2 Quit". They are classic. Also try "The Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang. There is nothing about banging ho's or killing cops.

Miserere said...

OK, so you really didn't know who MC Hammer was...

Just trying to gauge how disconnected from society you are, Eo ;-)

MC Hammer is an ex-pop star, but nowadays also a popular culture meme. Kids who have been born after MC Hammer's heyday, and have no idea what the guy's contribution was (or wasn't), still get the meme.

Here's David Brent doing some “MC Hammer shit” on The Office.

Miserere, what I wrote there was very tongue-in-cheek. When I do that, it's taken seriously by most, I've learned to live with that.

MC Hammer wasn't really a rapper in the current meaning of the word. In the 1980s the genre wasn't as profane as it is today.

He is only really known from a single pop song: You can't touch this (YouTube).

"MC Hammer? He was one of the Untouchables."
Oh? I could've sworn he was the sidekick of Paul Bunyan or John Henry. One of them big tool dudes, knowhatimsayin'? Who hang out an' chill at da Tool Bar wid' dem ADDICTS.

Names... can't even trust them anymore! ):-P

"he's one of those predominantly black singers"

It could be about weed, yes, indeed! Well spotted, old chap. Jolly good show.

Clearly, you haven't heard any of John Cena's literary masterpieces, my good friend. Try oogling for "John Cena's rap", and make haste in filling that most unfortunate gap in your contemorary musical culture, I say.
Such expressions as "U can't C me" and "F.U." are now in every youth's most official language, I reckon, and what not, yes?

"I've learned to live with that."
I cun put a cuntrack on yo' white ass an' unlearn yo' pronto, mofo! Word, life!

Pascal [P-04referent] said...

Uh... BTW, who's this "Eolake"? If his name is one word, he must be as famous as Madonna, Elvis, Zoolander, Hansel or Zorro. And yet, I've never seen him on MTV.
Wired! I maen, wierd!
