Have you had your bowl of cereal yet today?

On Thursay February 10, 2011, some unknown worker bee at Ark Music Factory first uploaded the video for "Friday," a for-pay song written and produced by Ark Music factory for a Californian teenager named Rebecca Black. It got about a dozen views that first day.

A few months before, Black's mom had signed a contract with Ark, buying one song and one music video for her daughter for $4,000. The song was finished in late December; in January, Ark shot the exteriors for the video at her dad's house, with her actual friends kickin' in the front seat, sittin' in the back seat. As she told the O.C. Register, she had to shoot the "7 a.m., waking up in the morning" line probably "30 times."

The video skulked around YouTube quietly, finishing out February with just over 1,000 views.

And there it maybe would have stayed, if it weren't for Shawn.

No one knows who Shawn is. Neetzan Zimmerman, editor of The Daily What and a guy who reads most of the internet each day, realized he&#39;d struck internet gold: <blockquote>I listened to it and immediately realized this was no ordinary horrible song. This was the MOST horrible song. I didn&#39;t think it needed much of a caption, so I went with something straightforward. I figured the horribleness would sing for itself. When something is this horrible, people take notice.</blockquote> His post was quickly picked up by the <a href="http://tosh.comedycentral.com/blog/2011/03/11/songwriting-isnt-for-everyone/ ">Tosh.0 blog</a>, <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/this-is-literally-the-worst-thing-i-have-ever-hear ">BuzzFeed</a> and every internet filter and aggregation site, major or minor. Before Zimmerman posted it, the video had something south of 10,000 views. A few days later, it had over 2 million. nonadult nonadult <small><i>Source: <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/?q=rebecca+black&amp;ctab=0&amp;geo=us&amp;geor=all&amp;date=mtd&amp;sort=0">Google Trends</a></i></small> nonadult According to YouTube Trends manager Kevin Allocca, "The total view count for Friday (across the original and the new one) is 190 million views." This would put it at number 27 on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/charts/videos_views?t=a">YouTube&#39;s All-Time Most Viewed list</a>, between Pitbull&#39;s "I Know You Want Me" [<i>Ed. note</i>: Who knew people liked Pitbull that much?] and "Evolution of Dance." And, says Allocca, "Rebecca Black" searches still spike every Friday. nonadult nonadult What was your reaction to first time you saw "Friday"? I don&#39;t know you that well, but I&#39;m willing to guess it was something like confusion followed by the shocking realization you&#39;d never heard something quite so awful followed by a thin layer of actual, you know, enjoyment, followed almost immediately with the strong need to tell other people about what you were seeing, an urge to witness, yell, tweet, email, add to Facebook, IM or publish a link on your website, however it is you express your feelings. nonadult The specialness of "Friday" is hard to pin down. Matthew Perpetua, writing for Rolling Stone, <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/why-rebecca-blacks-much-mocked-viral-hit-friday-is-actually-good-20110315">said</a>: <blockquote>But there&#39;s something else going on here, something that makes "Friday" uniquely compelling. After all, there&#39;s no shortage of insipid failed pop music out there, and Ark Music Factory is responsible for many other music videos by young unknowns that are just as cringe-inducing, if not much worse. When you see this video, you immediately notice everything that it does "wrong," but it actually gets a lot of things about pop music right, if just by accident.</blockquote> That it was an accident seems obvious -- it&#39;s not like Ark has been able to repeat the success of "Friday," though it has put out quite a collection of tries. For the most part, they&#39;re like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UCdcW0RgII&amp;feature=channel_video_title">Lexi St. George&#39;s "Dancing To The Rhythm"</a> -- which is just sort of fine. She&#39;s a little too talented, too polished, to be special, and the song&#39;s too generic to be memorable. (St. George is actually the next closest thing to Black Ark has ever launched: She participated in some "making of the next viral star" thing on Good Morning America, and her song was used in an ad for headphones.) But "Dancing To The Rhythm," and Ark&#39;s other attempts, are all, weirdly, too good. The production&#39;s a tad too seamless, and there&#39;s no magical lyrical stupidity that quite touches the finer moments of "Friday": <blockquote>Fun, fun, think about fun You know what it is</blockquote> But then "Friday" isn&#39;t just straight up awful. YouTube&#39;s channels are full of really, truly supbar music videos that fail to get much love. To be truly bad, it must almost, kinda, nearly be good. But also awful. Behold, the Uncanny Valley of Songs... nonadult nonadult Similar to the sharp drop of <a href="">The Uncanny Valley</a>, songs which are the worst are the ones which in some way mirror things that are actually good in music. nonadult nonadult "Friday" started going viral on a Thursday. The next day, the T&#x14D;hoku Earthquake struck Japan. "Friday" got 1.3 million views that day. There&#39;s probably no relationship between the two, but if there were, maybe it&#39;d be something along the lines of the fact that the news of the quake squeezed everything else out of the news cycle, and we all needed something to distract us, and something specific to be angry at. For all of the pondering over lyrics and production values, about high culture mixing with low, I think the thing that made "Friday" popular was kind of dark and sad: We wanted see someone seemingly that vapid and that un-self aware, and we wanted to hate them for just a little bit. <blockquote>It&rsquo;s Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday Everybody&rsquo;s lookin&rsquo; forward to the weekend, weekend Friday, Friday Gettin&rsquo; down on Friday Everybody&rsquo;s lookin&rsquo; forward to the weekend Partyin&rsquo;, partyin&rsquo; (Yeah) Partyin&rsquo;, partyin&rsquo; (Yeah) Fun, fun, fun, fun Lookin&rsquo; forward to the weekend</blockquote> nonadult Kevin Smith&#39;s New Reality Show About Comic Book Nerds http://www.buzzfeed.com/whitneyjefferson/kevin-smiths-new-reality-show-about-comic-book-ne Kevin Smith has a new reality series on AMC called “Comic Book Men.” It's pretty much “Mallrats” meets “Pawn Stars” meets “High Fidelity.” Haven't heard of it yet? Here's everything you need to know before the series premieres on Sunday.

The Premise

AMC's first foray into reality television is "Comic Book Men," a show about the New Jersey comic book shop that Kevin Smith and Jay Mewes opened in the 90s -- aptly named Jay And Silent Bob's Secret Stash -- and the men who work there. It's a place where some of the most knowledgeable comic book experts work, hang out, and has the added benefit of being "the only place in Red Bank I can smoke weed and not get busted," as Smith so gently put it.

The show is largely filmed inside of Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash (or just "The Stash," as devotees refer to it) but also incorporates some road trips (to the flea market, as shown in episode one) and footage of the men in their weekly podcast, "I Sell Comics." Smith is quick to acknowledge the difference between "Comic Book Men" and other reality shows in that they never "break the reality wall," as many reality shows do, with a "confessional" booth or direct interviews with castmates looking into the camera. Instead, AMC suggested they film their weekly podcast to help tie together the plot of the show.

The Cast

While "Comic Book Men" is Kevin Smith's show, it should be noted that he's not involved in the everyday comings and goings at The Stash. He owns the place, but is known for only dropping by approximately once a month, or "every time I'm in town," Smith said. Thus, most of the show revolves around the actual dudes who run the shop: Walt, Michael, Bryan, and Ming.

Fun fact! Bryan is actually the real-life inspiration of Randall, from "Clerks" He's also completely to blame for Smith's love of both hockey and comic books: "He made it cool for me to get into [comics] and that's changed my life." Bryan, a "career slacker" who was hesitant to join the reality bandwagon at first, saying, "I don't want to be Snooki." He was eventually convinced by the money he'd make from the show, which would allow him to finally fix his bum knee. A guy without health insurance who hangs around a comic book shop all day long? Yep, definitely sounds like the inspiration for Randall.

A guy without health insurance who hangs around a comic book shop all day long? Yep, definitely sounds like the inspiration for Randall. nonadult nonadult <big><b>The Inside Scoop</b></big> I attended AMC&#39;s Q&amp;A press event at Caroline&#39;s On Broadway this past Tuesday and if I wasn&#39;t feeling like the series wasn&#39;t reaching out for viewers like me (girls who know nothing about comic books), I still left the event feeling refreshed and excited about the series. After I got over my awe of seeing Kevin Smith, a man I&#39;ve admired since I in the first of many viewings of "Mallrats" as a teenager, I realized how blatantly excited Smith felt about the show. He spoke highly of AMC, their credibility in producing great television dramas ("Mad Men," anyone?), and how many actors would die to get a role on any show on the network, so highly, actually, that he exclaimed, "I don&#39;t know whose dick I sucked but it <i>worked</i>!" I should probably mention that Smith began the press conference by announcing "Sorry. I smoked a joint <i>right</i> before I got here." So perhaps his excitement was a bit, um, amplified but the sentiment remained the same. It seems he&#39;s most excited about the reliability of the show, saying, "The highest compliment you can be paid is &#39;You guys talk about the same shit my friends talk about.&#39;" But not everyone can relate to a group of older, nerdy guys talking about comics all day long. Does he worry about how he&#39;s portraying this world? <blockquote>"In terms of presenting an [geeky] image, I got credibility in that world and I wouldn&#39;t wanna lose it, and I wouldn&#39;t fucking trade it for like, "here&#39;s a stereotypical picture of some geeks who can&#39;t get pussy!" No. I would much rather put a modest portrayal. I love that world. I&#39;m a geek as well."</blockquote> So that brings us to another question: who, exactly, will watch? <blockquote>"If the audience is there, we&#39;ll make more [episodes], man. And if it&#39;s not, I get it. And if it&#39;s not &hellip; I would never bitch about this AMC thing because they put us after "The Walking Dead" -- and if we don&#39;t score there we won&#39;t score anywhere."</blockquote> nonadult nonadult <big><b>The Controversy</b></big> Before heading over to the event, I asked a friend of mine who writes for a science fiction if they&#39;d be attending the same press conference as I and their response went something like this: "Hell no. That shit&#39;s sexist." Hmm, I thought, as it made sense why people might think that, but I wasn&#39;t sold. Inevitably, a reporter asked Smith if he thought his show was sexist at the press event. He explained that the show is ultimately about a "group of friends who have known each other for 25 years" who just happen to be men. In fact, after the pilot was finished, AMC asked that they put out a call for a geeky girl and reshoot the pilot with her included. It didn&#39;t end up working out. <blockquote>"When we originally showed the idea to AMC, they said &lsquo;It&rsquo;s a sausage party,&rsquo; so we said all right, let&rsquo;s bring in a chick. And for the presentation we brought in and shot a chick, and it was wonderful and great, but then AMC, god bless them, said &#39;Well, that&#39;s not the reality of the show."</blockquote> He gave an apology of sorts about the lack of women in their lives: <blockquote>"This is the reality: these dudes work here. Now, we could alter the reality of the show&hellip;but that would feel kind of weird. This is a snapshot of a store where these guys have worked for 20 years, and unfortunately it is a sausage fest."</blockquote> I&#39;m a woman and I didn&#39;t find any of what Smith said particularly offensive, but <a href="http://www.observer.com/2012/02/kevin-smith-on-lack-of-women-in-comic-book-reality-show-thats-not-reality/">others</a> remain unconvinced. I mean: would <i>you</i> like a network throwing a stranger into your mix of lifelong friends and asking you to pretend like it&#39;s the same? No, you wouldn&#39;t, regardless of their sex. Besides, it&#39;s not like there aren&#39;t <i>any</i> women on the show -- they just don&#39;t happen to work <i>at</i> the store. For example, Marilyn Mansfield, the <a href="http://jezebel.com/5831408/meet-tlcs-latest-doll+obsessed-star">crazy doll-obsessed woman</a> featured on TLC&#39;s "My Collection Obsession" shows up in an episode to try and sell her Chucky doll. nonadult nonadult Spoiler alert: in the end, Marilyn can&#39;t bear to sell her "child" for such a low price. Oh, and speaking of spoiler alerts? Smith confirmed that Jay Mewes will appear in at least one episode of season one. <i>Snoochie boochies!</i> <i>Comic Book Men premires this Sunday night on AMC, right after "The Walking Dead."</i> nonadult Cake For Breakfast Can Help You Lose Weight http://theweek.com/article/index/224214/can-dessert-for-breakfast-help-you-lose-weight

So how does he do it exactly? Scientists aren't entirely sure but there are a couple theories. The first is something called "eidetic imagery" which, in poor latent terms, means Ayumu is able to commit to memory a complete picture of intricate pattern or scene.

The second theory is called subatizing which means you can look at a small number of items and automatically know how many of each are present. For example, if you glimpse at the stars, you can see that there are two red stars. Or three blue stars. Or what have you. And chimps retain this information better than humans, especially Ayumu, because as humans evolved and acquired new skills-like speech-we lost others such as super awesome visual memorization.
