Akon Blames It On The Rain

Akon's "Sorry, Blame It On Me" video is pretty funny.

He actually wants us to feel sorry for him.

You see, it wasn't his fault that he simulated sex on stage with a 14-year-old girl.

Blame the girl's father. It's his fault that he let his underage daughter out to go clubbin'.

Blame Club Zen for letting the young girl in the 21-and-over club in the first place.

And don't forget Verizon. After the incident in Trinidad the leading telecom company changed its popular slogan to I Bet You Can't Hear Me Now when they pulled the sponsorship plug on Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape tour which featured Akon as a supporting act.

Some apology.

Man. I can't wait for Paul Mooney's Judge Mooney show to make its debut on BET. I will be submitting this one for trial.

Come on Akon. You have some valid points, but no excuses accepted here. I'll admit that some of these 14-year-old girls can pass for legal age, but the purple Dora The Explorer backpacks should be a dead giveaway.

Can I suggest you make a "Sorry, Blame It On Me (Remix)" for Gwen Stefani? That was her Verizon money that went down the drain.
