If there’s anything worse than an obnoxious, nausea-inducing viral video, it’s a shameless parody of said viral video – and Rebecca Black’s “Friday” has them in spades! While most of them are either people’s live-from-their-bedroom reaction videos (like others really care what they think) or some goons hitting the street lip-syncing to the song, I actually found one that, despite the protests of my jaded heart, was legitimately funny and had some great production values (as well as giving us an idea of what Rebecca Black will look like in 20 years). On top of that, this parody’s packing shrimp juice and vomit jokes aplenty – dammit, they got me! As great as this parody is, it got only around 200,000 views – so let’s change all that by watching this video!

At the beginning of the month, we told you about Lake Superior State’s list of proposed banned words for 2011. While we’re the last ones to be censoring your freedom of speech, we also don’t want to keep saying sh*t that frankly is old news. That’s why we embedded a poll asking you to vote for the one word we, as an organization, should ban for the rest of the year. See the results after the jump!

Just before the New Year, Lake Superior State University released its “List of Words and Phrases Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness”, an annual list of terms that should be banned from use for the coming year. The popular list began on Jan. 1, 1976, when former LSSU PR Director Bill Rabe and a group of friends known then as “The Unicorn Hunters” each contributed a few expressions they disliked to form the inaugural list. Since then, LSSU receives well over 1,000 nominations annually through its website, lssu.edu/banished. Check out the 14 words nominated for banishment in 2011 after the jump!
