He And The Thrift Shop Guy Should Get Together

When Gandhi said “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” I don’t think “50 Cent” is what he was talking about

Well, I guess the only way to know for sure is to go ask him.  

Well, if I were to have a conversation with Gandhi, it would be an interesting experience, since he died 65 years ago, so I think that's out of the equation. 

First of all, let's get the elephant out of the room and acknowledge that there is plenty of doubt as to whether or not Gandhi actually said this phrase which has propagated itself onto just about every form of medium somebody can sell on the internets.  A more accurate interpretation of Gandhi's teachings on this particular subject may be Found Here.  Either way, it's a nice quote and sentiment.  

50 Cent (pronounced "Fiddy Sen") is Curtis Jackson III, a hip hop artist who does what hip hop artists do.  He raps about how good a rapper he is, holds up money in his "music" videos, engages in feuds with other rappers, and starts his own record labels.  This probably goes without saying.  Also, I've never seen one of his videos, so I'm just going with the assumption that he holds up money.  Go ahead and prove me wrong.  

In addition to being a hip hop artist, 50 Cent is an amount of money, equal to one half of a dollar.  This amount of cash is usually received as change for making a purchase without a whole dollar amount.  

Yeah, I think we got the joke.

In that case, I'll just leave off here by wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
