That was one of the oddest things I've ever seen.

I really don't know what to think. On the one hand, nothing makes me cringe more than seeing old white people rap for humor. But then on the other hand they have Talib Kweli referencing a Gil Scott Heron song which means that someone there does know what they are talking about.

I'm going to need to mull this one over for a while.

So what's his first love? Numismatics? Bacon? World of Warcraft?

It's so sad to see Buzz become such a sellout. His pandering during the ad blitz for the awful "Fly Me To The Moon" animated movie was cringe-worthy enough.

@EBone: Hey, if you're gonna sell out to pay the bills, you might as well do it with a sense of humour and self-deprecation. See: Adam West.

@Miksho: Adam West is a hack actor. Buzz Aldrin was a national hero who walked on the moon.

@EBone:

Huh?

A sellout? He's an astronaut, when was he indie?

This is great though because it makes people interested in space that might not be otherwise.

I think the smartest in this group of sites(kotaku/jezebel/gawker/gizmodo...etc) is io9, but then we have people like Ebone saying an astronaut has sold out, wtf does that even mean?

"Yeah man buzz aldrin is such a sellout, I knew him back when he was just starting out and he was so much better then."

"better at what?"

"Being.. in space.."

"oh..."

@Snowspot: He sold out his fame and honor as being one of only a few humans to walk on the moon, to publicize a shitty animated movie, and now for this crap.

You don't have to be a recording artist to sellout your values.
