You Betta Werk, Antoine Dodson!
We are obsessed with this nonsense! But in case you haven't been on the Internet or around gays or college students for the past couple days, allow us to explain Antoine Dodson and his meteoric rise to YouTube stardom.
See, Antoine is actually something of a hero. He totally fought off this dude who was trying to rape his sister! Right on! But, of course, Antoine is also totally a balls-out, flaming, countrified ghetto-ass queen with a flair for the dramatic. Observe:
We gon' FIND you! Run and tell THAT, homeboy! So, obviously that newsclip found its way onto YouTube and became an overnight sensation. (BTW, how much do you love Ms. Elizabeth Gentle? Is that an awsome local newslady name or what?) And it wasn't long before somebody Auto-tuned the hell out of Mr. Dodson, and behold: a star is born.
And how exactly is young Antoine adjusting to his newfound fame? Facebook fanpage? Check. T-shirt line? Check. Ringtone? Check.
Oh, and we really hope they catch that rapist too.
