R. Kelly's "Trapped In The Closet"?

First time I saw trapped in the closet I thought it was hillarious. I was so happy that something so utterly and obviously terrible on so many levels could actually be called into existance. Shortly after that, however, I got angry about it. There are so many artists out there with real product that can't get off the ground no matter how hard they try, yet this man is somehow paid to create this?! It's absurd. Think about how many people had to okay this thing. There are so many people that instead of saying "No, R. Kelly, this is stupid" instead chose to say "I support you, R. Kelly, where do I sign?" And how does R. Kelly of all people have enough clout to pull that off? Isn't he a running joke?

But it is pretty funny, objectively.

I actually saw this before the real thing and thought it was hilarious.

Then I realized it actually wasn't that far off from the actual video and my mind was blown.
