It was a midget, a miiiiiidget...

I think my long posts are scaring off potential comments. So here's a nice short one for you.

Larkins introduced me to one of the greatest (and longest) music videos of all time...

Follow THIS LINK to part 1 of R Kelly's Trapped In the Closet. I'll leave it up to you to find parts 2 to 12.

I'm pretty sure it's serious, which is a shame because it could win comedy awards galore.

Absolutely horrific.

I only managed to get through parts 1 and 2.

Don't give up now. It gets much better, or worse, depending on your point of view.

That is truly terrible - the sort of crap that Pop Idol contestants wail along to. I am ashamed to admit that I clicked on part II to see what happened after the cliffhanger from part I.

R Kelly once sang "I believe I can fly". It would be nice to see him test that theory by leaping from the top of the Sears Tower.

R Kelly once also got done for doing naughty things with girls who were too young to know better.

Make of that what you will.

Keep going, you've got to get to the part with Bridget, the pie and the mystery man in the cupboard.

I'm pretty sure hidden somewhere on youtube is a clip of him performing some of it live at the VMAs.

What a strange chap.

well, i've now watched the whole thing, and safe to say i don't know what to make of it.

on one hand, it is truly awful and listening to the music and the substandard rhyming and lyrics, as well as the shocking acting is something i don't want to have to do again.

on the other hand, and i don't know if it is deliberate, it is absolutely hilarious.

if you have a spare 50 mins, or even a few mins each day, i implore you to track down each chapter (they're in 3-4 minute chunks) and watch them. and if you get tired by the 5th chapter (of 12) - don't give up. I'm sure OWen will agree with me. It gets a whole let better and I guaran-damn-tee you will find it funny.
