Perhaps you’ve reached the point where you’re asking yourself, “How exactly do they pick the awesomely bad videos for Not Very Talented?” Well, I’ve gotta tell you – it’s not as easy as it looks. Here’s a little sampling of what it took for this post:
Colleague: Hey, aren’t you supposed to be looking for videos of bad singers and stuff?
Me: I am.
Colleague: That’s a dog.
Me: I know, right?! It’s like, learn how to sing, dog. AM I RIGHT?!
Colleague: I dunno. I think he sings pretty well for a dog.
Me: Uh, no. I mean, hello? B-flat? Come on! Just look at how embarrassed his dog friend looks.
Colleague: [blank stare]
In honor of Halloween this week, I give you something even scarier than the new scariest movie in the history of ever.

Boss walks in while you’re updating your Facebook status? Minimize the window and click on the spreadsheet you have standing by. While you’re on the phone with the significant other?

The sleeves remained behind as conscientious objectors in the losing battle for this man’s dignity. Unfortunately, he thinks the only problem arose when he kicked himself in the head. His legs were simply trying to do him a favor.
…and the reason it suddenly stopped. And, no, I don’t think it looks real either. I really, really wish it was, though. Even more than I wish Madonna had never recorded “Ray of Light.” Well, almost as much.
