Agreed.  Feel free to move it somewhere or I will delete it tomorrow, as I do to many of my posts :)

FWIW, I think the video has been posted before, but it is pretty funny. EDIT: The search function is pretty good... the video is (appropriately) n this thread: http://thecardboard.org/board/index.php?topic=10216.msg92759#msg92759

Speaking of grammar videos, I posted the satirical Lonely Island Semicolon video too...

BTW, Solange sings some of the verses... she's notable for being Beyonce's sister.
