Jimmy McMillan, aka “The Rent is Too Damn High” guy, is running for mayor again. You might remember him from his memorable 2010 New York gubernatorial run, where a televised debate put him on the same plane as current governor Andrew Cuomo. He also ran for president in 2012, and even held a debate with Vermin Supreme, which we liveblogged for some reason. Now, Animal New York has created a gangsta rap-infused music video for McMillan’s 2013 campaign, sure to give him a bump in the polls. You’re welcome.
I have a prediction for the Super Bowl. The Giants will win 34-17.Jimmy McMillan • Predicting the Super Bowl very specifically. Vermin Supreme picked the Pats.

“Listen! Someone’s stomach churned little child stomach just growled. Did you hear it?” Alvin Greene hasn’t become a total meme yet, but this karate expert just might. source
