I don’t usually do posts that are just excuses to embed funny videos, but I’m making an exception for Funny Or Die’s “The Wire: The Musical” for three reasons: 1)It is among the more hilarious viral videos I’ve seen in a while, particularly in the way that it uses actual “Wire” castmembers like Michael Kenneth Williams, Andre Royo, Sonja Sohn and Snoop Pearson, 2)It’s a very slow news day, and if not for this, I likely wouldn’t be posting anything today, and 3)Even David Simon gave it his stamp of approval.
If you haven’t already seen it by now – possibly many, many times – enjoy. (Also, to answer the inevitable spoiler questions, don’t watch if you haven’t seen the whole series.)
