The purpose of the llama

The amount of ridiculous and crazy creations going around over the internet is paradoxically both appalling and hilarious.

While I am aware that there is definitely that which is completely inappropriate floating around out there, I have so far, and with much thankfulness, only seen the more inane segments of these creations. The Llama song must be a classic example of this category.

When all is said and done, the reactions to that ditty range from absolute disgust at the complete irrationality of the work, to total amusement at the lack of human reasoning found within the song.

I rather fall on both sides of the fence. I appreciate random and goofy humor occasionally and found this one to definitely fall in that category. Because I have mid-terms coming up shortly, it has found a home in my favorites page.

On the other hand, it's rather saddening to see the amount of time, effort, and energy spent on the Llama song go in to something that is not only completely pointless, but because of its lack of point, it has no real value or impact on the life of the watcher/listener. (Other than, of course, the two minutes spent laughing as the song plays.)

To me, when someone has the ability to actually throw something like that together, it shows a complete waste. This person has amazing capability with the little machine we call a computer, and yet, he uses it on something like the Llama song.

While it is certainly randomly hilarious, there's no point to it other than a laugh or two.

The world will move on with, or without it.
