I wanted to believe. Oh, well.

Even if it a total fabrication, it's still funny as hell. And no matter how jaded you are, credit must be given to Mr. Lethal for managing to log two legitimate viral phenomena in the same week completely independently of each other, doing both with humor and skill, and managing not to tip his hand.

Of course not. Bennett died years ago, she was killed by her parents.

Mac Lethal probably isn't even really his real name.

Uh, how are those funny? They read like shiatty one line jokes, just converted from a third party telling to a text conversation. Great if you like knock knock jokes, I guess.

I guess I missed this "Internet sensation" completely. No loss. There are about 500,000 Twitter accounts with the exact same gimmick.

That "article" didn't prove anything, pro or con.
If Bennett is not the kid's real name, then of course his father is not going to know who it is.

If they wanted "proof" they should have asked to see the texts on the dude's phone.

Also, THIS.
It made me laugh, and that's a generally a good thing. So who cares?

This circled around the office yesterday and as soon as I read the first capture, I replied to the email chain and said there is no possible way this is real. No one believed me, and they continued laughing at the texts.

I just read those now and god they are stupid, and not funny. Reads like a mildly amusing comic strip. this guy is just too lazy to draw.

No idea what's going, but from what I gleaned from that article, Lil Kev has something to do with it.

"Hilarious"? Really? Someone needs to either work on their definitions or get a real sense of humor.

I'm trying to write a comedic response invoking the line "Let off some Steam, Bennet" from Commando but I just can't find the proper context to set it up :(

If you can't tell fake viral meme's by now...


...and holy shiat, it was Mac Lethal? He can rap his ass off, but yet somehow I've never quite become a big fan. He always seems to be pulling some schtick like this, looks like one finally paid off on the viral meter...

I found it amusing. Never stopped to consider wether or not it was 'real', since I've seen just as ignorant people friend me on facebook.

Of course it's fake, but why ruin the fun?

Have TSG become a bunch of TMZ wanna-be assholes?

I used to have respect for that site.

Just heard about this Bennett crap today and it actually made me frown because it was so fake and unfunny. The pancake rap was awesome though. Guy needs to stick to white boy rappin I guess.

I was 95% sure it was fake when I saw it for the first time. It's like a lot of those supposed "auto correct" things, only funny if real, but all too often faked.

MaxxLarge: credit must be given to Mr. Lethal for managing to log two legitimate viral phenomena in the same week

Alas, that week was several weeks after those viral phenomena had stopped being fresh or funny.

Also, "MaxxLarge"? Is that you, Mac Lethal?

Also, also, those are not very funny. Chuckle, maybe, but not as funny as the typical fake autocorrect LOLcat joke.

Sorry, but the ability to discern between quality humor and trash like this doesn't make my world bleak at all. Having taste does, however, make it much harder for me to explain something I found amusing and get nothing but a blank stare. So I guess you have that going for you.
