Go watch this. Go watch this now. Comedy sometimes gets to the heart of issues faster than any policy paper ever could.

Will Rogers would be proud.

So yes, I’m sitting here watching VH1’s "The 40 Most Awesomely Bad #1 Songs of All Time," and I admit, I LIKE some of these songs… so how do you rank these songs:
a) Awesome — not bad at all.
b) Awesomely Bad — yeah, it’s a bad song, but so bad it’s good
c) Secret Shame that you really like it.
d) Just Bad
