You're Going To Hate Me For This

Can somebody please charge Patrice Wilson with crimes against humanity?


I'll draw up the paperwork.  Uhm...who exactly is this guy?  


Patrice Wilson is the remaining one-half of the production company "ARK Music Factory."  If that name doesn't ring any bells for you, learn it now, and train body to send chills up your spine when you hear it.  Basically, develop a kind of Spider Sense about hearing that name.  When it pops up, run for the hills with your hands over your ears.  

See, "ARK Music Factory" is the production company responsible for unleashing Rebecca Black's song "Friday" upon the world.  I'm not going to link to that song.  I'm just not.  If you haven't heard it by now, climb back in your cave and forget you ever read this.  Well, as if "Friday" wasn't enough for you...what with the Auto-Tuned singing to the worst lyrics ever written dubbed across a mildly creepy music video featuring 13 year-olds driving and partying...well, have I got news for you.  

Patrice Wilson has gone and done it again.  He has now grasped on to the budding career of Nicole Westbrook, whose parents are apparently as well off as Black's, and willing to pay Wilson thousands of dollars to produce a music video featuring their daughter.  The good news is that she's a markedly better singer than Black.  The bad news is that this time, the song is worse, and the video (also featuring Wilson himself...this time in a turkey costume) is FAR creepier.  

That's right, folks...the latest travesty of music has been crapped onto the internet courtesy of Mr. Wilson.  It is called "It's Thanksgiving" and I've only managed to listen to it once.  That was plenty.  But since I had to hear it, So Do You.  In the interest of full disclosure, this Youtube video (as of this writing) currently has over 65,000 dislikes, versus 8500 likes.  Not favorable. 

Incidentally...in researching today's Blag entry, I was made aware that since the public decimation of "Friday," Rebecca Black has started her own record label and plans on releasing a full CD.  This got me thinking...what exactly is involved in creating a record label?  Based on the fact that both Rebecca Black and Paris Hilton have created one, and there are over 16,000 record labels in the US and UK alone, I don't think it's much.  Based on this, I've decided to start my own record label called Miracle Records.  (If it's a great Record, it's a Miracle!)  Any and all musicians are welcome to apply, and I'll post your video to Youtube or something.
