Rape isn’t funny. Sexual assaults aren’t funny. Physical attacks aren’t funny. And yet, this news report dealing with exactly those subjects IS funny. Especially after it’s been through the auto-tune.
The original news report concerns Antoine Dodson, a young man from Huntsville, Alabama who prevented his sister from being raped by stopping the attack. He talks to the news people about the incident, and has a message for the wider community.
The phrases he uses and his style of delivery make it all rather comical, and even more so when it’s all turned into an auto-tuned song.
The scary thing is this makes for a truly catchy song. Sure, the lyrics are a little out there, but you can’t have everything.
