Am I missing something here? Or is this another, "Because we can" type of attack?<br><br>It's a bad song, sure, but who cares? The girl's 13 and people are telling her to go cut herself and die? A little harsh, don't you think? Don't like it, don't listen to it.<br><br>--<br>www.techviva.com<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2011 12:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 4chan Looking to Take Down Rebecca Black With 'Operation Black Friday']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/03/18/rebecca-black-friday-4-chan-operation-black-friday/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/03/18/rebecca-black-friday-4-chan-operation-black-friday/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Brian Well, obviously people are going to be harsh. It's the internet and no one is doubting that. People are ignorant, and hateful. Anonymity just gives them an excuse to show it off. <br><br><br>The problem I have, personally, is what this song represents. It's the latest abortion of the music industry. It's pointless, the lyrics are obviously a joke, and it's just the latest in the trend of Justin Biebers out there. The problem is Rebecca, it's the industry that shapes her. <br><br>Not to mention the one note that is used in this entire song, maybe that just annoyed me.<br><br>You say, if you don't like it, don't watch it. Obviously, everyone has been told that. It's good advice, but it doesn't change the fact that what this video, this 'music', represents is a problem. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Samuel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2011 10:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 4chan Looking to Take Down Rebecca Black With 'Operation Black Friday']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/03/18/rebecca-black-friday-4-chan-operation-black-friday/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/03/18/rebecca-black-friday-4-chan-operation-black-friday/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Brian<br><br>Ark records is really to blame.

The song was autotuned horribly, AND she basically promotes the stereotype teenage mentality...something that we really dont need kids to be doing.

Shame on the trolls at 4chan. But yeah, they're doing it just because they can, and because some 13 year old got a bigger viral chain letter-spread than they ever will with their trash. wow, 4chan must be feeling pretty big, picking on a little kid, what cowards. Any flack 4chan gets, they deserve. And no, I don't want people sending me links to Rebecca Black's video in one of those viral emails. It's unfortunate for her to end up as part of a chain letter scheme, and even worse for her being on the receiving end of 4chan's hate mission.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Miss Capri]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2011 9:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 4chan Looking to Take Down Rebecca Black With 'Operation Black Friday']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/03/18/rebecca-black-friday-4-chan-operation-black-friday/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/03/18/rebecca-black-friday-4-chan-operation-black-friday/</guid><description><![CDATA[4chan, you used to be cool. Stop hating on 13 year old girls. If you think the rest of the world is going to support you in this, you're wrong.
