Some people will do anything for their 15-minutes of fame — including completely humiliating themselves.
Covering City Hall used to be boring. Now that people have gone completely insane and want to promote their brand, it appears that it can now actually be painful.
Everton Bailey, Jr. who covers Dallas City Hall for the Dallas Morning News posted a bizarre, cringe-inducing moment captured during Wednesday morning’s open mic council meeting.
Dallas comedian Alex Stein decided to do a 90-second pro-vaccine rap and it was… something to behold.
The video is clearly an attempt to at self-promotion, but it’s also the way that some of the vaccine aficionados are behaving these days.
Seen during this morning’s Dallas City Council meeting: a rap during open mic about getting vaccinated. Here’s part of it. I missed the part where he squirted hand sanitizer on himself. pic.twitter.com/68iaTFXMas

Twitter videos have been giving some problems showing up on websites lately, so here’s a video posted by Brit YouTuber Tony Dortie with part of Stein’s “performance.”

That. Was. Awful.
Stein has frequently used public meeting forums for his “comedy.”

The speaker is Alex Stein, a frequent Dallas City Council open-mic speaker and one-time reality TV villain. https://t.co/PF2zN4A1a9

The 2012 article was about how the comedian appeared on ABC’s reality TV show, “The Glass House” where he “managed to offend each of his 13 fellow contestants with his unique brand of anti-charm and was the first one voted out of the house by the viewers” and returned again saying that the producers told him to be a villain.
Maybe he’s just desperate for more attention since his attempt at stardom hasn’t exactly worked out so well so far.
If he was trying to promote his brand, shouldn’t he have actually been — I don’t know — good at what he does?
Someone in the replies to the tweet linked a video of this guy’s pro-vaccine song which has actual talent — but is very, very not safe for work. (No, seriously, guys. It’s pretty raunchy. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.)
And yes, posting this video does add to Stein’s 15-minutes of fame, but let’s use this as a cautionary tale.
Don’t go to his Instagram.
Don’t check out his YouTube channel.
Starve him of the attention he craves.
The “influencer” culture is destructive.
A poll in 2019 revealed that American kids dream of being YouTube stars but kids in China dream of going to space.
Lots of kids are growing up wanting to become walking advertisements and propagandists for corporations because there’s a huge financial incentive there instead of building, innovating, or creating something themselves.
It’s really sad.
It’s also incredibly self-centered.
