This is Keenan Cahill, a guy who has taken more heat on the internet than 99% of the folks combined.
A 15 year old kid, he has become famous for singing along to his favourite jams on youtube via a webvam in his room and a hilarious need to perform. With a sincere desire to sing, he has received tens of thousands of mean commentary from the wags on the internet who are quick to hate on anyone they perceive as different.
Comments on Keenan’s performances include gems such as these:
masonfurry1: u look like a giant baby
ParkerRosetv: Whats this kids problem?
ninjapanda4: i’m actually very sure that i’m going to have nightmares he creeps me out.
skigod222: You know when you were little and you saw someone who was retarded and your mom told you not to stare?? Well, YouTube lets you stare all you want….. But I do feel sorry for this little girl, it would suck to have down syndrome.
THAT’S THE INTERNET FOR YOU
We see similar drama on the Nation Network with comment battles on a daily basis. People on the internet are free to say whatever they want and more often than not this results in a million man rumble.
Do you think that your squad should make a trade? Do you consider a certain player to be below par levels for quality? Expressing your thoughts can often bring criticism from fellow Citizens of the Nation and writers alike.
We personally feel for these folks much like we pity poor Keenan. He sticks his neck out on YouTube on a regular basis and suffers slings and arrows from strangers by the thousands. Clearly not the best looking kid on the planet, he doesn’t even know the words to half of the songs he is singing his heart out to on the interwebs.
At an age when most of us would be majorly concerned about what people have to say about us, he has the courage to ignore the hatred of his peers in favor of doing what he loves.
AND IN THE END THE INTERNET WINS
One of the great things about the Nation Network and the internet in general is that we run a (relatively) censor free zone. Everyone is free to speak their mind and provided they keep it clean and abstain from personal attacks they have a right to be heard.
KEEP ON KEEPIN ON
And so party on FIST movement. Keep on posting first time commenters. Don’t even trip for a minute about whatever criticism you take from your fellow Citzens of the Nations. So long as you aren’t raining slanderous criticism on people and stepping beyond the bounds of taste your point of view is as welcome and relevant as anyone else.
We are fortunate to have you spend even a moment of your time at our family of websites. All too often sites like these devolve into a handful of commenters dominating the conversation and hating on anyone new or with different opinions.
We think that is a bunch of nonsense. If you have the dedication to comment on an article and bomb out a "first" or a "fist" we should thank you for taking the time to chime in your two bits. Don’t worry about what anyone has to say – get those opinions out there and let the conversation begin.
Everyone is welcome.
For in the end even our friend Keenan has fans out there. Take the introduction of this new brand new song for example, launched live by Keenan at the personal request of the author.
(if your time is at a premium you can fast forward to the 1:20 mark to see the vindication begin)
Welcome to the future.
How did that young guy convince Brian Sutherby to make an apperance on his youtube video….he must have some pull.
I get it, we’s all welcome, unless we piss of Brownlee.
I am more of blues/roots fan than rap, but I gotta say 50 CENT moved up at least 50% in my opinion of him for that last clip (couldn’t finish the first or even start the ones in between).
Nice stare down by 50 at the end, too. He must have practiced that.
(Correction ^)
“off” Brownlee, not “of” Brownlee.
That would make no sense at all.
If you sign up for a fancy account and login, you can edit past posts and fix any spelling mistakes. I think i used this feature on about 75% of my posts 😛 I’m the master of one hand typing faster then the other with complete gibberish being the result
How did you become a master of one hand typing?
Oh…I get it. Wink.
but…. but…… there was more words in that sentence that explained that my other hand is typing too. How could you ignore portions of what i said and take them out of context for comedic affect? ~WHAT HAS THE INTERNET COME TO?~
Haha – you got me!
Wayne, that was as compelling as Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.
One day, comments from Rubbertrout, MadJam, Hemmertime, Uncle Pabst, Christopher Walken, Nate with or without hate, and that weird little kid with glasses and 50 Cent will join togeher in harmony, without fear of prejudice or our love of Shawn Horcoff.
Cheers all! Now let’s bond together by agreeing on how crappy the Flames long-term outlook is, and how their fans must all suffer from stunted development due to impure drinking water!
Best site. Ever.
Darn good article.
I never liked 50 cent much but this was nice to see.
Horcoff is okay. I think most would agree he is doing half decent thus far this season and most of us realize while he is not an all-star he has great value to this team. Let him be.
It’s 3:39 and I’m half in the bag.
Happy November 12!
I’m not sure what that means, exactly….
but if its booze related, i’m right there with you!!
Goilers!
can you really call it half in the bag when it is your normal state day in and day out?
ooh ooh!
SIXTY NINTH!!!!!!
I will never again see 50 cent anywhere without thinking of Patrick Kane.
