Are You there Jah, It’s Me Ras-Trent
It’s a fine balance between living a multicultural lifestyle and coming off as a poser. (Or if you’re into the elitest way of spelling, a “poseur”).
The key, I think, is when one sees something in another culture that one likes, they should incorporate that characteristic into their overall style in a seamless and appropriate way. There’s a difference between someone allowing a culture to inspire specific choices about cuisine, art, or fashion and just parroting a culture.
Enjoy. Unless you’re in Canada. Sorry.
Nyabhingi, indeed.

I just want to throw that boy down and… well, anyway. Funny. And I completely agree.
@Finn, No, no, finish the sentence. Throw him down and … ?
@Faiqa, …get busy. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* I seem to have a thing for goofy Jewish boys.
@Finn, You too?? 2 of my pas boyfriends were goofy Jewish boys. ::swoon::
You don’t post anything for EIGHT DAYS and when you do it’s something Canadians can’t read? Nice.
(I still hope you’re doing well with the new addition; I’m just not bringing the cookies over anymore.)
@SciFi Dad, Heh. We’re doing great. I can’t believe Hulu is discriminating against Canadians, too. You should start a protest group. Against Hulu, not me. And HEY what do you mean no cookies?!
Damn me and living in Canada!
@LeSombre, Not that this has anything to do with my post, but emember that movie with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Julia Roberts where Julia plays Catherine’s less pretty, but still very pretty sister with the better personality? I’ll let you ascertain which country is which sister if the movie were a metaphor for the US and Canada. I think the ability to view Hulu vids on blogs is integral in the dynamic.
Andy Samberg is one funny fucker.
@Avitable, Mmmhmmm. Say hi to your mother for me.
I LOVE Adam Samberg!
That video is completely funny. And I totally agree with you on the sentiments about parroting culture. I see some people and it’s like, “WTF?!”.
My favorite part of the video is the real rasta guys looking at him funny. Bwah!!
that was funny, but it’s also, sadly, so realistic!
I heard N. humming a part of this song yesterday. What kind of ‘worksheets’ is she really doing during the day?
@tariq, hahahahaha
I think I saw a chalk board in your house the last time I was over there. It said “Studies of the effects of pop culture: 1-1:30″
There was also something about “Feminism in today’s world: 2-2:30″ – just a heads up.
i remember this one. not one of my favorite digital shorts, but i love me some andy samburg nonetheless…
@Slyde, This one is my favorite, especially the part where he walks by the real Rastas…
Are you trying to tell me that wearing this red dot on my forehead is inappropriate??
But that food was SO. GOOD!
@Miss Britt, The red dot is fine. But that time you tried to convince me that we were best friends in a previous life until you died in a towering inferno trying to save the love of your life? That was weird.
Where am I? Did I move to Canada?? Nope, I just have the dumbest computer on the planet and therefore cannot see anything!!! Oh well…
@Becca, Boo for the dumbest computer on the planet. You could try googling the title of this post, it might come up on YouTube.
So, wait, I shouldn’t run around trying to Force-push people who resemble Dark Lords, I shouldn’t open a Jedi temple in my suburban home, and I shouldn’t carry my certified authentic replica lightsaber on my belt?
Dang. You just suck the fun out of everything.
@Coal Miner’s Granddaughter, Hehehehe, because, you know, Jedi is a culture. Hmmm, I guess it is, if I think about it. And, thank you for making me realize how even I can be culturally insensitive.
ahh….sprite can…(wink wink).
I have no idea what you’re talking about. But if I did, I would remind you that it was, in fact, a Diet Coke can.::Wink, wink::
