    No, I was totally wrong. It is the RJD2 mix of Ghostwriter (whatever the hell that means), as thirdoptical suggested.

    I'm fairly sure the song is by the Icelandic rap band Quarashi from their album Jinx, but I can't say for certain. If anyone knows for sure, apparently I'm not the only one interested.

    i like swaim tons more than gladstone. the way gladstone talked always ruined the videos for me. i think his delivery was always a bit off.

    Actually, in a completely random coincidence, my girlfriend and I were sharing horrible videos - actually, she might've seen it here . . . that makes sense. Anyway, I watched that and my roommate and I were laughing our asses off, saying that iPhone must've paid for product placement. And then my girlfriend said, "Or Snickers." So yes, actually, since that was the joke, yeah, she probably saw it here. OK, so it's a little less random, come to think of it. So now I guess the coincidence is that the first time that I watched this PARTICULAR Swaim video was today, and she must've seen it earlier. Which isn't all that amazing of a coincidence at all. Oh, nevermind.

Deep underground, government scientists have finally created S.W.A.I.M., a perfect android nearly indistinguishable from man (unless you count that his feet are metal claws). Then they gave him a five-minute web show to talk about dumb stuff he finds on the internet! Hurry up and watch the episodes before they put this technological wonder to work on less stupid forms of evil.
