A Graphical Dissertation on America's Number One Song

Hilarious satire in the Village Voice, complete with Venn Diagrams and flowcharts:

"The most amazing line in 'This Is Why I'm Hot'—and, even at this early a juncture, quite possibly the most amazing line of any song to see release in 2007—is 'I'm hot 'cause I'm fly/You ain't 'cause you not.' Brutal and unassailable in its simplicity. Consider the reasoning, first, of just 'I'm hot 'cause I'm fly':

Mims is hot because he's fly. But it raises the question: Does being hot guarantee one's being fly? 'You ain't 'cause you not' would seem to clear that up:"
