Relevance. Sadly, it’s the goal of most people alive today.
G.K. Chesterton said, “A dead thing goes with the stream. Only a living thing can go against it.” If that is true, the world is cluttered with dead things then and they’re probably wearing leg warmers.
Here are 7 of the most hilariously pathetic attempts at relevance so pathetic that Levi Johnston didn’t even make the list:
7) A community church attempts a “flash mob” and inadvertently creates a black hole that sucked all happiness from a 100 mile radius. Children eating ice cream cones suddenly burst into tears three states away. Let’s face it, when your church attempts a flash mob, chances are 99.999867% that it ends up just kinda’ feeling like your cousin’s wedding.
Help Wanted: Choreographer desperately needed for relevant community church. No religious affiliation necessary because it doesn’t really seem to come up.
6) Mitt Romney singing “Who let the dogs out?” for absolutely no reason that anyone can ascertain other than that he’s near black people. Romney set hip hop back a decade just from the sheer force of his Mormonism. I think Vanilla Ice actually made fun of this.

I still can't get the horror of the 1996 Democratic National Convention doing the macarena out of my mind. Talk about irrelevant.

I'd love to ask Romney why he started singing.
