Review of The B Kool In School Handbook
Arturo Contreras and Onil Melendez are quite the comedians. Although I am not sure exactly what the purpose of this radio segment was, I exploded into a fit of giggles.
This is a humorous out-take, or perhaps even a blooper that plays on our infomercial-obsessed mass-media and our generation's self-help obsession. Contreras and Melendez's segment takes a look into how to "be cool," and the results are hilarious.
The voice actually did sound straight out of an infomercial. I enjoyed hearing the alternative, slang phrases (a subtle jab at teenagers' use of esoteric, and almost bizarre phrases) as a vehicle to obtain popularity.
The segment was, quite frankly, hilarious. The quick-side-effect voice at the end of the "commercial" of sorts was very accurate (getting beat up for trying to be cool!)
Loved the segment!
