Letters and Numbers

Contrary to popular belief, Rebecca did not make the video to "Friday" on her own, nor did she write the lyrics. That boils down to two guys in a basement who run Ark Music Factory.

Let me tell you a little bit about Ark Music Factory.

These two guys (Clarence Jay and Patrice Wilson) decided to make a company that exploited rich parents for their middle school daughters and tortured them to poorly written songs and budget videos, and cashed their $2,000 paycheck.

Now, I could be wrong here... but if they're taking middle school girls to these random studios, doesn't that kinda sound a bit perverted?

As it turns out, it is. Their YouTube channel (the aptly creepy-named trizzy66) contains only videos from - you guessed it! - young girls. Could some of them be, oh say, ninth grade? Possibly. Frankly, I'm not giving them the web traffic.

I also love how they "claim" everything. Jay and Wilson "claim" to have sponsored such artists as Miley Cyrus and others, they "claim" that they sponsor singers from around the globe, and they "claim" that they're not, er, taking these girls to their basement. That last one is probably the most false.

Seriously!

Anyway, I'd like to see the process of these guys writing the song lyrics. Or do I?

Honestly, who came up with "We we we so excited"? And why should I be excited? And who is "we"? Are Jay and Wilson excited that they're going to "have a ball today"?

Oh by the way - Forbes estimates that the traffic caused from "Friday" could exceed $1 million. Also, "Friday" cracked the top 20 on iTunes.

And Ark? They've moved on to Abby... something. Again, not giving them the web traffic to find out. Apparently, it's equally bad. Thanks. Also, they're revealing "the truth" tomorrow - a Friday. I expect them to just come out and say they're pedophiles, otherwise they're going to be getting some nasty e-mails, and they're probably not going to come all from me.
