She's "Li'l J" -- and she means business!

I found this at Boing Boing today. The first time I watched it I found it appallingly sad. The second time I found myself giggling. Now I want to make it my cellphone ringtone.

Just once I'd like to see some sub-teen, instead of pretentiously trying to imitate supposed black gangsta patois, try to be creative and attempt to, say, triphop verbally on some obscure variation of Elizabethean English rap while using a Norwegian accent to riff on sub-atomic particle physics. Or something.

But that's just me. Next! 8^}; 11:44 PM

BTW, get a load of the deer head in the background. Does that qualify as "bling"?; 11:56 PM

She's how old? She looks like she's been through the ringer a few times already. Sad.; 2:16 AM

But please don't forward to this her, I'm afraid she would grab her "homies" from her "crew" and "put a cap in my ass." That's urban slang meaning to murder a person with a firearm.; 1:21 PM

That's actually the first thing I noticed: she looks inexplicably old, like she's been boozing and puffing Marlboros for 20 years or so. I don't see a "little girl"; I see a crone in the making.; 10:39 PM
