Rebecca Black It's Friday

[agzg]

They're playing this song on the morning news right now. They put up on the traffic map "This Song = Awful."

SO WHY ARE YOU PLAYING IT?!

This girl is claiming the negative publicity her "single" is getting is akin to being cyber-bullied. Bless her heart.

Actually, depending on how far people go, it can become cyberbullying. Regardless of how much people hate this song and want to shout it from the roof tops, she is a child. If people start cyberly attacking her and contacting her to tell her she sucks, that is bullying just as it would be if they picked on her at school.

@knight_shadow: She's right. The fact that people are talking about her song and the song is stuck in some people's heads (I refused to listen to the entire song because I wasn't going to do that to myself--I listened to the "Bob Dylan" version twice, though) means that she has some notoriety.

LOL. I can think of 2 other nontalented people who have received notoriety for either parody or serious songs over the years:

She's a child who chose to put herself out there for the public to make a decision on, one way or the other. She should have realized criticism can come with that. If she doesn't want people contacting her directly, she needs to make herself less accessible. You don't get to have it both ways.

Criticism isn't the point. It's how far people go with the criticism either on the Internet or in person.

Still a child.

Her parents made the ultimate decision, though.

Also, 4chan has published information about her school, her school's calendar, and were talking about doing some kind of Operation Black Friday today.

That's what I'm saying. How did they get that info? Apparently her parents didn't impress upon her to keep it private. In this day and age, you have to assume that when you become ANY sort of public figure, anything that people can access, they will. If you don't want to put up with that, don't be a public figure.

Live by the internet, die by the internet. Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's the truth.

4chan is fucking scary. They can do anything.

She was on GMA today. I guess all the major new sources wanted to wait until today to play her song.

She said that by being stuck in everyone's heads, the song has done its job.

GAH

Some people are saying this one is more acceptable because she's even younger, but this still makes me want to throw up.

You aren't alone there. Even my 13 year old little sister asked me why would someone do that to themselves?

Not to be talking about anybody's kids (but I will). Who told her to do her mouth like that when she was lip syncing? Booooo

I will say something positive about it. That quilt on her bed is pretty.
