What you laughin’ at?

I often find myself making other people laugh, but rarely do I ever laugh myself. Don’t get me wrong, I am generally in a pleasant, maybe even slightly silly mood, but it is not very often that I could be caught laughing hysterically. Even when I find things really funny, I tend to make a modest gesture that suggests that I was entertained and offer a slight chuckle. Is there something wrong with me? Maybe I broke my funny bone.

What is the difference between entertainment and distraction? Well, being the word nerd of the ghetto, I decided to look them both up:

•Entertainment- the act of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment.

•Distraction- something that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.

See any similarities? Remember the spy movie where the hero sent the beautiful woman to entertain the goon while he snatched the merchandise? I bet he never realized how distracted he was until his boss made him a lovely pair of concrete slippers and served him a nice drink at the bottom of the Hudson. I bet you never thought about how distracting your favorite show was until you remembered you hadn’t started the 12 page essay due the next day.

Census Rap Video from 1990 Sucks Really Bad!!

You prolly don’t know this because your high-school civics class most likely wasn’t worth sh#t, but every ten years the US government counts every human being within its borders. Over the next several months, we are going to be talking a lot about the 2010 Census because it’s pretty effin important. Billions of your tax dollars are spent on schools and other important community projects. And were not talking fake rich rapper money either; the census adds up to big paper for local communities.

Of course, most times young people and people of color don’t fill out the form.  Were too busy doing other cool sh#t like filling out unemployment forms or waiting in lines at the emergency room. That’s why the good folks at the Census Bureau spend so much money producing commercials that attempt to speak directly to our demographic.

We’re not sure if these commercials have always been successful because the one above sucks really bad.  Maybe were too young to remember, but its hard to imagine that dancing that hard in ugly clothes was ever cool. After the jump is an example of a census commercial from 2000 that is much less likely to make you want to punch someone in the face.
