Amy Schumer, Serial Plagiarist, Accused of Cultural Apporpriation

This story is so stupid I would not bother you with it except that it involves Amy Schumer, who Hector thinks is totally smoking hot.

Amy Schumer made a really low-budget and lame "parody video" of a Beyonce song. A song I only heard of once, but forgot where I'd heard of. Apparently it was that anti-police/Black Panther tribute she did in the Superbowl that people complained about. It's called "Formation," and it's about stupid shit, like Black Lives Matter and female empowerment or whatever.

She totally takes back the word "bitch" and stuff. And from what I hear, she's earned that right.

Anyway, spherical sketch-burglar Amy Schumer called up her Three Friends and they did the sort of aren't-we-cute lipsyncing crap that you used to see all over the place on YouTube before people grew up and realized straight-up copyright infringement was where the real money was at.

Remember those days? When you'd go "Hey I want to hear Billy Squier's 'Lonely is the Night'" and so you click on a video and it turns out it's three Bieberesque teens pretending to play wicked air guitar and mussing each other's hair and doing all sorts of coyly homoerotic shenanigans?

God, I miss those days. Those hot, hot days when men where men and boys were adorable and no one questioned it at all when you casually said, "You know, no homo and all, but I look at this sexy kid from 'Hanson' and your mind can't help but go there, and by 'there' I mean his hot mouth."

Anyway, people only slightly less atrocious than Schumer herself are accusing her of "racism" for daring to feature white women lip-syncing to a black woman's song they obviously like a lot.

White people, even white trolls like Schumer, simply aren't allowed to "take" from Queen Bey or whatever.

Below, Beyonce's "Formation" and Amy Schumer's tedious, stupid cheap "parody."

I strongly recommend you ignore everything about this post, including the link above, and just talk about whatever you like.

Holy shit that's terrible. That's like when Clarice Starling is like "Did that lunatic just spit on me?" then she realizes "Holy damn, that's not spit."

Nothing can be worse than that.

Except: if you add in Amy Schumer shaking her bulbous thunderbug ass into the camera.
