The first time I read and seen this news story, I couldn't help but to laugh. But that was the part that was so horrible to me, I laughed. This story was meant to be broadcast for sympathy and to review the harsh realities of our world today. This was a story for the family of this woman to vent, express their anger and fear and to somehow get the criminal caught. You watch things like this and think to yourself "Wow, I feel so sorry for this girl." Now The girl and her brother, especially the brother who expressed his opinion over the news very colorful, loudly and obnoxiously, are now he talk of the nation. The first video is the original news broadcast of the story. Seems normal right? But then some group guys thought it was entertaining to twist the video and make into something huge... nationally huge. Antoine Dodson and his sister Kelly Dodson became internet stars over night after the group of guys auto tuned their voices and and made their own music video out of it.
I must admit that it was funny, but a lot of comments circulated around the video explaining that it is exploiting the family and that the people that made the video turned it into something unnecessary when it was a supposed to be a tragic thing. In light of the situation, Antoine and Kelly both get money for the sales of the song being purchase on iTunes and the merchandise that are now selling like T-shirts. I believe something good came out of the situation whereas a lot of the black community thinks it exploits and stereotype the situation especially because the guys that made the video are Caucasian.
