Insults those from the background.

Japs are used comedically. The underlying meaningseems like its more efficient to speak English.

Rebecca Black's 'Friday' a ViralSensation for All the Wrong Reasons

Ah, Rebecca Black -- blowing up on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube (with 2+ million

views thus far) for all the wrong reasons.

Black's video for "Friday" is one of those rare occurrences where even the mostseasoned critics of Internet culture don't know where to begin. From the singingstraight out of Auto-Tuned hell to lyrics such as "Tomorrow is Saturday / And Sunday

comes afterwards / I don't want this weekend to end" and a hilariously bad rap aboutpassing school buses, "Friday" is something that simply must be seen and heard tobe fully appreciated.

Video: Rebecca Black, "Friday"

There are million questions one could ask. Who gave these kids a driver's license? Areany of them even above the age of 15? What is "fry-eee-day" and does it have anyrelation to the similarly-pronounced day of the week? And most of all, because we all

know we've been through this conundrum at some point in our dull and witless lives:which seat canwe take? I can barely wrap my head around it.
