My faith in humanity is now officially shattered

On the real, this has been a rough week a brother's Zen.

With people dead in an awful train wreck,  another political revealed as a lying cad and Iran and North Korea tripping, I feel like all we need now is an outbreak of pigeon hepatitis or something to truly making living on Earth right now more trouble than its worth.

Which is exactly how I feel right now watching this video of Hurricane Chris perform "Halle Berry (She's Fine) at the LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE. 

As a matter of full disclosure, I kind of like "Halle Berry." It is a song so unbelievably stupid, so unrepentantly ignorant and low-class that you have to love it, though of course with a dose of high irony. I mean, you have to love that a dude who looks like the "BEFORE" on an evolutionary chart could crawl out from under a ditch and, in his best pidgin English, sputter out, "She fine, Halle Beraaaay, Halle Beraaaay."

I mean, it's so dumb even Halle herself danced to it, rather than sue. I guess she figured, Why bother? This dude probably couldn't read the court docket or open the door to the courthouse unassisted-- let him get his Newport and hot wing money! It's a recession!

But what has slayed me like the last dragon today is how the legislature in Louisiana decided to honor this guy for his musical achievement. You seriously have to watch this, if only so your soul can be as corrupted as mine is now. It is unreal. Watch how this starts off like any boring C-Span video, and then how "Ms. Dartman" introduces Chris--who I must say looks great in his suit, no shade--and commends him, basically, for finishing high school and doing something other than going to jail.

(Wow. Way to set that bar of achievement real high, lady. It's like Chris Rock says in this (expletive heavy) monologue: you supposed to finish high school and stay out of jail!!!)

I died a little bit watching this, seriously. I might never be the same again.

Don't they have anything else better to do?

I need to lie down...
