the book of love will open up, and let us in.

I have more to say about the whole HLG incident, but I don't feel like writing it all down right now.

What I do feel like doing is posting this hilarious e-trade video. You've probably already seen it (It was on during the Superbowl,) But it is worth watching twice.

Two reasons I like this video...

1) Cute talking babies. 'Nuff said.

2) I like that the black baby is singing what would be considered a "white" song and he's not using an obviously "black" voice (yo yo yo I'm a baby--wassup?!!!) Let me be clear that there is nothing wrong with liking black music or having a black voice. It's just nice to see another option it comes to people of color's portrayal in the media. We still have to deal with the ever present issue of the brown baby being the sidekick for the white baby, but we can work on that...right?

Happy Friday!
