Eep. I just sent out a couple of e-mails at work asking about a move to the next grade level up. Due to a couple of internal reorganizations, it is unclear who would be able to give me any information.
I'm just waiting for an e-mail back saying "No promotion for you".
Right?? It's like there's a whole Youth Culture out there that I'm not part of!
Oh right. Because there totally is. Weird.
He is totally the Justin Bieber of comedy, in that I had no idea he even existed until I was told he was very popular.
I just realized I don't know what a ZipIt is ...
I do not know this Fred person. I watched about 30 seconds of his video, and as Jezebel promised, I physically recoiled from the screen.
I also do not know what a ZipIt is, but now I have Devo's WhipIt stuck in my head!
I was listening to radio reviews of the first night of Lallapalooza on Friday night, and it seemed like Devo was a big hit, but Lady Gaga had people leaving in droves after only a few songs. The people who chose to see The Strokes at the other end of Grant Park from Gaga's stage got a much better show.
Are we not talking about the drain-cleaning thing?
No, "Fred" was texting someone on something called a ZipIt. It looked like an enormous Blackberry.
OK, as a mom I'm gonna hazard a guess as to why kids find Fred funny: he has a weird voice, he makes silly faces and flails around, and he mentions pee a lot. Really, it doesn't take much to make a kid laugh hysterically, and that's a guaranteed trifecta.
