Jeremih, Framed

Hello, readers and welcome back to Framed, America's best-written blog. We're glad you came by! This week, we're featuring Chicago's own Jeremih, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter who's been making a big splash of late.

We picked up on Jeremih's new video by checking out Y! Music's invaluable "Video Premieres" page a week or so back. (You should also be regulars at "Video Premieres," by the way; it's the best way to see the new videos that make a difference in your life! Framed is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Y! Music.)

Jeremih is best-known for his big hit, "Birthday Sex," and this week we have the follow-up, "Imma Star." The tongue-in-cheek video has Jeremih job-hunting and flopping dismally. At the end of the video, of course, we learn that it was all just a dream, which it had to be 'cause Jeremih, like us and everyone even tangential to the music industry, is impossibly wealthy.

Ha ha! Good one, Jeremih! Well, what else would you expect from someone named by Eric Cartman himself? Please enjoy "Imma Star" and the captions, which--as always--are not only so funny that you'll probably choke, but are also ripped from today's headlines! Sort of!

 

1 -- "It was an honor to be named to one of Obama's many death panels! Look out, rich people!"

 

2 -- After being bullied into handing out questionable loans, many kindhearted bankers were forced to sell off their top hats and monocles in the economic collapse that ensued.

 

3 -- "Well...if invisible walls were closing in on me, I'd probably deal with them thusly."

 

4 -- Would this pretend shot clinch the imaginary championship of the entire street?!

 

5 -- "Wow. The death panels in California are paying ten bucks an hour! Ironically, almost a livable wage!"

 

6 -- "No, don't look! The death panel has convened again!"

 

7 -- To underwrite his socialist mission, a down-on-his-luck Claus was reduced to begging from real Americans who'd made the system work!

 

8 -- Gummo, The Sentient Bubble, summoned his most trusted Bubbylonian lieutenants to study the Jeremih phenomenon and ponder its value in the war against Pumpkinhead.

 

9 -- "Wow! I totally don't mind driving to Vegas with a pumpkin-headed being!"

 

10 -- "We both have to be impossibly hot?"

 

11 -- "Damn. If only mustard was also on the 99 cent menu."

 

12 -- "Don't worry, honey. The death panels rarely summon those under 50. Or was that 40...or even lower?"
