Bindi Irwin is sort of this decade’s singular Olsen twin mogul and she’s also a lot like the troops but a lot worse. Especially when it comes to using her to point out cultural flaws. You can never say anything bad about Bindi because she’s the daughter of a popular Australian conservationist who tragically died while purposefully swimming with stingrays (gee, couldn’t see that coming) and she’s incessantly perky, usually gratingly so. If you say anything even remotely disparaging you’re really attacking the institution of goodness and hope.


Anyway, that aside, she performed her new single “Trouble in the Jungle”- a rap - on the Today Show with a bunch of male dancers behind her this morning which you can see here (it’s more horrifying than maybe anything ever. I refuse to believe those dancers aren’t on Prozac).

The song is essentially heinous as well but because she’s a smiling kid and because it’s about saving bears suddenly I’m the bad person in this scenario. Not that I’d LIKE to see this, because I really wouldn’t, but as if she’s not going to be a gothic bulimic by the time she’s 18.


Actually, no she won’t, she’ll just be a really really complex 24 year old who cries a lot in her dorm but still wears normal clothes.

So, great. Buy it now and smile. Now. SMILE DAMMIT! [source]
