I got that it was a parody right away. Lines about “this is what taxpayers pay for”
Who could forget these lyrics?
I swipe my ebt
and buy it by the pound
and when I’m buying milk
I buy it by the cow.
Timeless classic if you ask me.
If it’s just his personal food stamps, he’s unlikely to be getting more than about $200 a month. Now if fraud is involved that’s another matter.
There’s a free program in L.A. that provides free electricity as long as you are a “minority”. My close bud works for the L.A. Worksource center and this program office is right across his. The same office also provides EBT card applications. And everytime I pick him up to have lunch together, guess which ethnicity makes up 70% of the line? So no, I wouldn’t exactly know if it was a parody.
Chapter has a video on EBT, too. It’s, well, worth watching.
Poverty is not a color, though.
Stealing from others is wrong.
Hey, if you can do a better, clearer job of penning a satire about the misuse of food stamp cards, more power to ya.
Wonder if our renowned Doug From Upland would be up to the challenge.
Just an hour ago I went to show someone the EBT video only to find Youtube had removed it. Other copies have been put up but this seemed odd. We all know there’s no censorship at Youtube /sarc.
I don't about you but these manufactured "Outrages" are getting kind of old...
They are being put out there to create publicity...The Chaz Bono on "Dancing with the Stars" is a prime example of manufactured outrage. Look at the publicity the got for a few days. the Lame stream media will do or say anything for ratings or distraction.
Majority minorities. Quite an irony.
Does he at least treat you for lunch? He ought to, you paid some of those taxes.
I thought this flick and its song was completely homemade.
He is resilient and proficient.
My comment was not aimed at the Parody but at the so-called reaction. He's using this an a means to get free publicity. I could care less about the video and never heard of it until now.
He's probably got an agent pitching this to CNN, FOX or MSNBC as we are bogging about it. Notice the post pointing out that the video was pulled. You think that is going unnoticed?
This is BS. Real conservatives are not at all upset about this. They are going “see what this guy is saying?!? That’s what we’re talking about. This crap is messed up!”
Jam, damn, I juss want some jam,
Walkin’ down the isle cuz I’m lookin’ for some HAAAAAAAAAAM.
I love this guy.
What theme was this stolen from?
Ripped by conservatives?
Nah. He’s a good guy. He’s overworked right now as the amount of people who applied for unemployment has increased 1o-fold and as counselor, the unemployed simply wears him out.
And yes, those “minorities” are now the majority, and we are talking hispanic.
