Are you REALLY born that way??

Allllllo everyone.

Yes tis I, Creative Karma.

It's been a long time since I've been here to torture myself as well as my semi-captive audience that can't stop watching like a train wreck.

However, I am back drawn out of my hiatus of sorts with a video sent to me by a dear friend... Although, might have to rethink that friend bit... Just kidding. I love her for sending me gems like the one she sent me today.

Just like with all these videos, I wouldn't have known of it's existence without someone's help.

Would have I been better off without it? Let's find out as I show you the newest spoof sensation: X-Men Born This Way


Yes folks here is a group of friends I presume that figure if Weird Al Yankovich can pull of a spoof then why can't they?

While I give them that the creativity, unique spin on the lyrics, and yet staying close enough to the original song so we lesser mortals can know what song they are spoofing (save for the title) are definitely in their favor. (Side note: I'm a dork enough to have The Hunger Games in my head after those last words).

What's not in their favor is the fact the guy who is singing the song...just can't sing. Sure sometimes it works but most of the time it comes off more as talking with a beat but not as bad as rap music.

And yet...for this video that is perfect. I mean really, they are all dressed up as the comic book versions of the X-Men. For those of you who didn't know that...I'm sorry for your childhood that was severely lacking.

This video is funny and has tons of WTF-ery in a very good way. I'll admit I didn't know what to think at first but as the video went on I couldn't help but to get caught up in a catchy beat of the song. I wanted to sing along but I didn't know the words.

Honestly, as homemade spoofs go this is one of the better ones. They worked on those costumes and OWNED those costumes.

As for my rating on this video, I definitely have to give it my lesser used rating of Time Well Spent. I enjoyed it for what it was and might watch it another couple of times to catch anything I missed the first time around. I highly recommend sending this to your friends, family, or just anyone and have a good chuckle.

Crazy good things can come in odd packages and this video is no different.

Try it, have a laugh, and let it brighten your day.

As for me, I think I will get back on the hunt for more crazy or out there videos that deserve a first glance.

I'm Creative Karma and I'm a dork and proud of it.
