I dedicate this song to Google Plus. Why? Because 60% of the posts I see on any given day are some quote from some jerk printed on a .jpg and my gah they get shared around like nobody ever figured out the benefits of “being yourself” or some other trite crap.
BUT! This song, “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)” has some sort of original ones. Or at least the same old stuff explained artfully. For example:
See, that makes sense. it is stuff you can actually do. Or not do, I guess, but you get the point. I’m so sick of the stupid Dalai Lama telling me about how to live and blah blah. I hate him. A lot. You wanna know why? It is because this is one of his super popular “wise sayings”:
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
Really, Dalai Lama? How long did it take you to think that one up? I think they actually print that on the place mats at McDonalds. “At least do not harm them.” Genius. You should be put on images and posted on G+ ALL DAY LONG. One time, this wonderful woman who ran our department with me asked me where so and so was (they had not come in) and I told her that she had said she cut herself and needed stitches. But, the missing girl’s roommate also worked for us and showed us the blood on her pants from the incident. Now, this girl called in “sick” all the time because she was a 23 year old drunk (to be fair, so were we mostly) but we didn’t get her in trouble because, as my friend so eloquently said:
Blood makes people believe you.
So yeah, my friend said something more true than anything the stupid Dalai Lama ever said. So does everything in this song. Video and lyrics after the jump.

According to this one, Snopes has confirmed it. The proof if after the jump. But even if they didn’t this seems totally legit. And, actually, who says Snopes is right all the time? And they have pop up ads on their site. So they are suspect, anyway. And now – AREA CODE 809!
We actually received a call last week from the 809 area code. The woman said ‘Hey, this is Karen. Sorry I missed you- get back to us quickly. I have something important to tell you.’ Then she repeated a phone number beginning with 809. We did not respond. Then this week, we received the following e-mail:
This one is being distributed all over the US .. This is pretty scary, especially given the way they try to get you to call.
Be sure you read this and pass it on. (Editor’s note —HORROR after the jump!)
