Straying away from this blog’s usual topics, I was surprised tonight to see my alma mater the background of a new set of Kmart commercials featuring Da Rich Kidzz, best known for their viral video, Hot Cheetos and Takis. The group describes themselves as “seven passionate kids from Minnesota that grew up loving to express ourselves through music.”
These kids are tight. I went to Kmart’s Facebook page to find the video to send to my friends, and lo and behold, what do I see? The comments speak for themselves:
Twitter’s going nuts too:
These commercials are telling me that only the ghetto children shop at Kmart.

Dear Kmart, Just b/c you put a rap and ghettoness into your commercials doesn't make people want to buy there! Sincerely, Anna
