"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

R Kelly's Trapped in the Closet

After seeing R. Kelly's new five part video 'Trapped in the Closet', part of which is available for streaming on-line here, I've decided the man is an absolute genius. He's managed to create a parody of himself that's so good it's worthy of sending even Dave Chapelle into retirement.

BlogCritics has a nice write-up on the video that sums things up pretty well, but it's one of those things you really just have to see for yourself. MTV2 has been running the video on a pretty regular rotation and has even been kind enough to add it to their schedule so you can easily set your TiVo to catch it. If you don't get a chance to watch it I'd at least recommend a quick read through the lyrics if you get a chance.

Genius.
