Creativity finds inspiration in the most unlikely of places. A few months ago, two young men decided to set the somewhat humorous news interview with Antoine Dodson, brother to a woman who had been assaulted in her apartment by a rapist, to music creating an instant Youtube sensation. Mr. Dodson has moved away from the projects with the proceeds he’s made from the “song.” He also performed live at the BET awards last month. The “bedroom intruder song” has now made its way into the Christmas repertoire of the Liberty University singers. Below is the evolution of the original newscast, the song and finally the Christmas version.

I don't even know what to say. But the song is very catchy. Much like a train wreck, I can't look away.

It will become a Christmas classic, I'm sure.

Oh, I love the Christmas version! I had not seen that one. My husband is fascinated with the whole Antoine Dodson story. I can't wait to show him this.

I was surprised when he didn't make Barbara Walters' Fascinating people of the year. 🙂

Maurilio, that is a riot! I haven't seen the Christmas version, and laughed out loud. As for my take on the phenom, I'd just say that some people are – with no effort – truly memorable characters. He has so much personality. Wacky personality + autotune + internet = pop culture icon.

I think you've stumbled on a winning formula!

I see this as indicative of the internet age, in which we cannot distinguish the difference between entertainment and reality–or between humor and pathos. Perhaps there is none?

If there's still a line it's a pretty blurry one.
