Observations and inanities by a second-shift assistant supervisor in the Puppy-Grinding division of the Evil Atheist Conspiracy® (our motto: "Sure it's cruel, but think of the jobs!"), your host, Brent Rasmussen.
I'm In The Wrong Business
Update: D'oh! The Manka Bros punked me with this one. Nicely done satire!
Dammit. I missed the obvious "white Christian teen rapper" angle when I was looking for my multi-million dollar record deal.
I strongly encourage all you pagan atheists to have a stiff drink before watching this delightfully insane video. (I'm 100% serious here. Have a drink of something before clicking the Play button. Make sure you swallow first.)
And yes, I am well aware that more exposure for this tweener singing/rapping dynamic duo means that they will probably sell more records - and I am perfectly OK with that. More power to 'em. Fleece the sheep for all they can bear, seems to be their father/producer/manager's motto. It's a textbook lesson in exactly how one can indeed worship God and mammon, contrary to what their holy book says.
Enjoy.

who missed the "update" notice before posting my comment. It looks like most of the posters here weren't aware that this was a satire before commenting. Maybe you need to make that "Update" a little more prominent, m'kay?

Done.
Watch out for the clue stick that'll shortly be flying out of your monitor and bopping you on the melon. Now that's some great javascript, there! That's not Web 2.0, that's like... Web 10.0! *bonk!* Hehehe...
Since...
...you fell for it too at first, do you get bonked as well?
Satire or not, that's still some terrible singing!

Yup.
I was totally sucked-in by this one. It just seemed so - I dunno - likely that some fruitcake would set their kids up this way and make a flippin' fortune doing it.
Then I started reading the YouTube replies from the video uploader by the name of "JPGordo", and something clicked. I had heard that handle before associated with comedy/satire. Did some checking (not that tough when the website is emblazoned across the front of the whole video) and discovered a whole pseudo-comedy-industry-farce website filled with funny little clips and recognizable comedians and actors.
Dammit. I hate being punked. :)
Yeah, pretty bad and pretty
Yeah, pretty bad and pretty sad, but I stuck it out to the end and then I thought, "You lucky kids, what changes you will see!"
I'll wager five liters of Venusian atmosphere that at least one of them will someday be very embarrassed. I'll wager an additional two liters that he or she will take it in stride with good humor and chuckle over the ease with which the allegiances of youth are swayed by the illusions of their elders. No wager is made on whether their will be a concomitant pledge to not do that to any more children.
I liked it.
This may have been a satire, but even if not, I give the kids credit for trying something. If they keep it up, I think they will turn out all right.
Just think of all those singers who started out in gospel. I am not comparing them of course, but someone like Sam Cooke comes to mind. You are not going to listen to him because he sings gospel, among other things?
wow
These kids are so untalented that they actually suck in any talent that gets close enough to their event horizon.
emkay, I gotta question your theory . . .
. . . enjoying good herb while watching that was definitely the way to go. I don't think there's any other way to watch that without becoming severely depressed at the prospect of these kids being in high school and having a fellow student discover this little treasure. The Internets never forget . . .
OK Rob...
...I'll be right over and we can test your theory, it's the only way I'm gonna hit that 'play' button again!. Hahahaha!
Or maybe it's those two sad simpering creatures that need the 'enhanced outlook' on life. We'll show 'em what THAT hole's for!
Speaking of Teh Internets never forgetting, I've always pulled up a coupla dozen hits if I google my name, but recently I noticed it even shows my posts on blogs if I sign my full name. Oh well, since I committed to full disclosure a coupla months ago (on this site anyway), in for a penny, in for 'a pound'!

Excuse me...
Excuse me while I pull the screwdrivers out of my eyes and ears.
As someone who produces music for a living (at least a sizable portion of my living), for some reason I've ended up engineering and producing quite a few christian albums for independent artists.
The only explanation I can think of is that their faith makes it easier for them to commit the money to the projects because they think they've got god backing them.
Their checks cash just as well as everyone else's.
I gave up...
...'Teh Drink' some years ago, and I couldn't get further than 27 seconds into that. I would have burned a fat one, and tried again, but I think it would have been more of a buzzkill than any fun, a waste of good herb.
The size of the cross on that kid's chest, I expected him to fall down on his knees from the weight of it.
You keep posting this stuff Brent and we're gonna take away yer Internets Privelages!
mike
Heh
When I see stuff like this, I think back to when I was a brainwashed fundie kid. It wasn't long before the allure of Christian "rock" turned into my undying devotion to SLAYER!!!! Hell awaits.
I Should Have Had That Drink!!!!
AARRRGHHHH!! I was at work, ok? With no alcohol handy and no lunchtime in sight and I...I...I..WATCHED IT!! Stomach-churning! They're like prepubescent robots out of some religio-Orwellian nightmare. This makes the original lyrics to "My Humps" now PREFERABLE.
Don't worry Brent

To who, the deaf? Because anybody who can hear will only be able to tolerate about 30 seconds of that "music", whether they are Christian or not.
I have always hated singing children. There may actually be a few good ones out there, but just a few. Most of them are obnoxious.
Singing kids
I'm with you, Bruce, I hate the whole idea of singing kids. Like you say, few of them are any good to start with, but because they're kids you can't honestly critique them. They wind up getting attention and exposure just because they're kids, and the hell with whether they actually have talent or not.
Still, though, how would you like to be that little boy's priest, huh?
