Pikku Gay

A photocopy I found in the street last night while walking HB. The kids must have been putting them under car wipers which people cast onto the sidewalk before driving away. I laughed just as I laugh at Eminem. I wondered what the DDN meant as well as why were they papering the parked cars with these silly photos of themselves trying to look like tough gangsta rappahs but only succeeding in looking like a Nike ad gone wrong. Perhaps it's a new form of 'tagging' or a message like "We gonna get you, suckah!". The Pikku-G wannabe gang who are just introducing themselves before they steal your car or something. They lack all the gold chains and gold capped teeth, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.

Perhaps they are making fun of the Finnish version of Eminem, Pikku-G [ pronounced PEEK-koo GAY which is hilarious in itself ], who seems to have quite the teenage girl fan base. Can you imagine Finnish homies going around saying, "Hey, Gay, whaddup?!" No, I can't really either as the moment they landed in the US and tried that they'd get their ass kicked by some white boy rapper skinhead. :) I keep hoping that all of the break dancing, skateboarding, and gangsta cool is just some parody of bad American pop culture. Somehow, though, I have a sneaking suspicion that these teenage boys aren't joking. If, by some chance, DDN is reading this they should know that white boy rap is something we make fun of in the US. I apologise on behalf of the planet that Eminem gave you a different impression. Also, break dancing was dead when I was in university a long time ago and it deserved to die. :) Try something original, boys.
