Funny, but beware

"The Whitest Kids U Know are terribly funny, but have the potential to offend more people than any other comedians I know. The best way to explain is to break down the tracks:



1. Welcome - This one is probably the biggest risk. The premise of the track is that the CD is trying to convince you to get your dad's gun and go to school so you can shoot the kids there for making fun of you. Add in some sexual self-service and some dog noises and you get the gist.



2. Triumph of the Ill (Hitler Rap) - A funny enough song, but any time you're talking about Hitler people are going to get a bit touchy. However, Hitler's no longer racist or genocidal, just trying to be a rapper.



3. Russian Roulette - Kids take turn blowing their brains out before a brief and insincere anti-pot announcement.



4. Special Ops Whispering - A bunch of special ops soldiers hiding while waiting to strike; they spend the time whispering about gas (the internal type), their gear and who they're going to kill.



5. Get a New Daddy - A song telling you that if you're unhappy with your father, you can set him up to take the fall for abusing you - and then you can get a new daddy. Don't like him? Do it again. Oh, and the chorus tells you to smoke pot.



6. Beautiful Penis - Some boys discussing how beautiful the penis of their friend is. He does some tricks with it, then there's another insincere anti-pot message.



7. Let's Wake up the Neighbors - A song - heavy on the bass - about playing music really loud to irritate your neighbors. Nothing really offensive here, amazingly enough.



8. Sam's Message - To paraphrase: "We're sorry for telling you to shoot up your school, but be sure to smoke weed."



9. Bus Driver - This one's just pointless. The driver of the bus and his passengers getting mad at an irritating passenger. Repeat ad nauseum.



10. B Cup - The sounds of a microphone being rubbed against variously sized breasts, then being shoved through a dog's rectum out through the mouth. Classy stuff.



11. We Gon' Make Luv - Imagine the anthem of those who use date-rape drugs. That's this song.



12. Goodnight - This one's pretty stupid too. I won't reveal the gag; hopefully someone else might find it funny if they don't have it ruined for them.



So yeah, you can see why many people would be offended by this. School shootings, pot smoking, animal abuse, child abuse . . . they're hot-button issues that many people won't laugh about. If you're not sensitive then this is a good album, but if you have strong feelings about those issues then you probably should save yourself the anger and find some less aggressive comedy."
