Web 2.0 has given the everyday person the gift of a voice. An outlet to share a point of view with the rest of the world. The phenomenon of the internet has also removed the barrier of direct confrontation; allowing people to communicate with the world more confidently.
This, however, has also had a negative impact. The social networking epidemic has also given us the ability to make a complete fool of ourselves on an incredibly larger scale than previously.
Us internet viewers also have a taste in viewing these public humiliations, and promptly sharing amongst our friends. Early 2011 brought us the horrid 'Friday' by Rebecca Black, and the poorness in songwriting doesn't stop there.
Double Take, a teenage girl duo, have brought us a song about the pains of being more attractive than everyone else.
"Hot Girls. We have problems too. We're just like you, except we're hot."
A part of me feels sorry for the girls foolishness in posting this online, but at the same time, I cannot stop laughing at how terrible every aspect of this video. From the irony in the lyrics, to the awkward on-screen performance, everything about this music video is the worst of the worst, and this is why we love to hate it.
This may be the worst music video I have seen to date, but following Youtube's consistent record, we will probably be graced with something worse in the future.
