Pursuit of happiness turns into Pursuit of "Jappiness"

If you have listened to the radio in the past year or so, im sure you have heard the song by Kid Cudi, Pursuit of Happiness. Now listen to University of Michigan student's remix to this song called Pursuit of Jappiness.

This remix shows a parody of kid cudi's song in a hilarious portrayal of the life of Jewish students at the University of Michigan. While it's arguable that this is a harmless description of their life using comedy. Some Jewish students could easily be angry at this portrayal since it gives them all a bad name in a sense.

This video further proves the idea that comedy now a days is more focused on making fun of things, and remaking songs is an easy vehicle in producing these comedies. We seemingly laugh at the remarkable truth involved in these parodies. Being from Ann Arbor Michigan, I can attest to the amount of Jewish students at the University, and as portrayed in the song, most of them have a large amount of money among other perks.

"Pursuit of Jappiness" is just another example of our increasing inappropriateness of college humor. While we find it funny, we certainly know we would not want our employers or parents knowing about them, which exemplifies our knowledge of the inappropriateness.

Keep chucklin'
