Audio Absinthe

The second man to ever set foot on the moon, Buzz Aldrin, with help from Snoop Dogg and Talib Kweli, released a hip hop single called “Rocket Experience.”  It’s clearly a joke but, nonetheless, the song is being sold here on iTunes and all proceeds go to charity.  Funny or Die released the video for the behind the scenes footage of the making of the song.  Snoop, Talib, and the special guests are hilarious but the whole project still begs the question- how did Buzz Aldrin get involved with this?  It’s FunnyOrDie.com, the king of online comedy.  The king because of the way they’ve been able to use celebrities to reach the target online audience. As long as celebrities like Snoop and Talib keep making videos for FunnyOrDie with celebrities like Buzz Aldrin, the comedy website will be able to compete for popularity with Youtube.  Special thanks to AGM who told me about the video almost a week ago when it was first released.  Check it out below.

Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton freestyling…  It’s from Snoop’s new TV show Dogg After Dark.  I thought it was weird when I first heard about the old reality TV show with Snoop coaching his son’s football team.  Well this scene from the new show is another level of weird.  As soon as Paris starts freestyling it gets pretty uncomfortable.

Yea, she said “P Hizzle”
