For those of you who don't live in San Antonio, there is a public service provided by the town which allows people to carry out community service by publicly humiliating themselves, known as Our Part of Town. In it city council districts pit their constituates against eachother to see who is the biggest jackass, and luckily for them they're all winners. If you've every wanted to see a fat twelve year old sing Toxic or a turkey voiced teen hiccup something by Babyface, this is the place to see it. Now this isn't all filled with apple shaped Nicole Richie wannabes trying to produce the killing word. It also has those idiots from high school drama class spouting shitty poetry. If you've ever wondered what a 15 year old named Dakota's thoughts on world peace are (hint:everyone just needs a hug), or what Armando's thoughts on the barrio are (apparently it sucks), you'll be pleasantly informed.
Also, OLD PEOPLE SINGING AND DANCING! No joke, 5 foot tall hispanic Alan Greenspans in wide collars and high wasted pants singing Tom Jones and Barry White. Now before you think this is awesome, remember that people with talent are not allowed to perform. Therefore, even though these people are perfectly able to jump and jive, they are still shitty at it. And before you throw your pity away on them, you may want to wait for the 30 year old still trying his passable Michael Jackson Billy Jean act.
Now you may be asking yourself, is this sadder than the Inuyasha zeppelins that parade at cosplays the nation over? Yes, because these people think this is the springboard to stardom. Sailor Faturn is just hoping for a free dvd.
Before you would have to sit through each horrible act, even though it's funny for 10 seconds, sad for 5, and funny again for 2, and then you're reminded why you hated high school for the rest of the act. However, now you get it On Demand, so you can fast forward through the crap, which is really most of it.
