Perspective
Rebecca Black has received death threats.
Look, "Friday" is a very catchy song with very banal lyrics. It can be done well, in a ironic-knowing-wink sort of way, such as when Stephen Colbert and Taylor Hicks sang it with Jimmy Fallon. But it's fluff. It's nothing.
Death threats!? Over this?
Whoever you are, you are really, really making something out of nothing. She's a thirteen year old girl. If you had the kind of exposure she's had, you'd be on top of the world, no matter the source. And, action movies aside, violence never solves anything. Especially viral video.
On top of which, you obviously have never heard Sheena Easton.
What musical artist could you happily never hear again?

no subject
But the songs I can do without are "Run Joey Run" and "The Last Game of the Season", both by David Geddes. And "Rocky" by Austin Roberts.
