Guys, if you're gonna cross the line for a joke, you have to remember to actually put the joke in.

Even on it's most basic level you can't even call it satire cause it has people who buy the CD singing "Kick that bitch 'til ya can't kick no more!"

I...ugh, I think I'm going to pirate the CD and donate them exactly 1/10th less than the album was worth and say "This is for the album. I did not pay for that song."

Yeah, I called it out on trying too hard to be ironic and ending up offensive. They gave the best responses.

"Maybe more women need to see this video, and realize how ridiculous domestic abuse can be? Maybe then they'd stop taking shit from abusive husbands / thug-wannabe boyfriends / employers and maybe learn some self defense?"

There was also something about how they weren't trying to be ironic and if it was ironic it would turn out that she/they were cyborgs or something. Sadly this means that they weren't even trying for ironic, because they don't know what irony is, and were just going all out on offensive.

It also looks like they've deleted those responses. Which is a shame because they were hilarious in how fucking retarded they were.

I am now no longer buying the LPoD.

Maybe they going for meta-irony in that it is ironic there isn't more irony.... Maybe.....

Goes in inverted order:

Wow. I can't imagine anything to say that I didn't put into a reply at D+B.

Either he just put his foot into his mouth incredibly hard or he's just declared himself as a giant flaming misogynist. Either one is fine with me.

Is Irony going to become the next "Zany Random Humor"? I really hope not...

So, they tried to "poke" women by being explicitly offensive, more so than most Rap music objectifies women and it backfired in their faces...

Maybe if they used tons of Slang and catchphrases instead of an bad essay with musical rhythm they would be n#1 on iTunes.

By that what i mean is basically "Stupid music is stupid"... i just hope they learn from it and don't become the next "Angry Videogame Nerd Reviews" type of people

Seeing as most people on Youtube seem to be talking about how hilarious it is and all that jazz, I doubt they'll learn.

Like, I think that maybe they're trying to say "hey this is what all those other rap songs are about if you stop and listen to them," by making a very literal interpretation of what they (well, the mysoginistic ones, that is) say with no real ending. It's just that any point they could be making has been completely lost in how tasteless it is.
