Weekend Video Time – Something Different

Sure, I guess I could be considered a scumbag for making this, of all videos on the internet, my next target for ridicule. That’s why I’m going to do something a little different. Instead of making fun of everything about the messed up girl in this video I’m going to talk about some of the comments I’ve read on it’s YouTube page.

Anyways, get ready to feel completely uncomfortable:

Sure, it would be super easy to pick this girl apart and that’s exactly why I’m not going to do it. I’d also feel like making fun of this video would push me over the asshole edge, quickly going from funny and likable to a monster built completely out of assholes. So first, I would like to start out with a compliment. This girl has bigger balls than I would ever dream of having. It took me three internet years to work up enough courage to post pictures of my face on MySpace, and I’m a moderately attractive young stallion. I would never even think about posting a YouTube video of myself, and if I did I sure as hell wouldn’t be singing in it.

While grimacing at watching this video, I started to read some of the comments posted underneath it. I’ve never been one for reading comments on anything because it’s usually filled with ramblings of complete douches arguing with each other. The comments on this video, however, are more cringe-inspiring than the video itself. Sure, you have the usual asshole comments making fun of her, and those are sort of bad, but they’re generic and unoriginal enough to easily brush off. Then you have the comments attempting to be nice, saying “You have such a good singing voice! You go girl!”

I think these so called “nice” comments are actually crueler than the ones calling her a melted candle face. Obviously this girl doesn’t have anywhere close to a good or even moderately listenable singing voice. Building her up with all this fake self confidence will just open her up to twenty times more ridicule down the road. Also, just because someone has a disability it doesn’t automatically make them fucking amazing at everything. If it was an attractive, or even very average looking girl singing like this nobody would be fake nice to her, but since this girl is disfigured all of a sudden she’s the best singer in the world.

In a perfect world nobody would be leaving negative and hateful comments on this video, and nobody would be posting fake nice comments either. Everyone would just take this video for what it is, do a mixture of cringing and chuckling to themselves and then ignore it, just like we should do with disabled people themselves. And yes, I realize the hypocritical nature of talking about this video on my blog.
