The New York Post reported that Vanilla Ice was hired by TurboTax.com (owned by Intuit) to host the "Tax Rap Contest," "providing fun-loving taxpayers nationwide a shot at their own Grammy-worthy performance and $25,000 in winnings."
To kick off the contest, Vanilla Ice has unveiled an original music video "inspired by his own personal tax-filing experiences" on YouTube. "We want people to 'get their tax on,' " said a company rep.
And if you thought the description was bad enough, you should check out the website.
Wow, $25,000 to make a complete ass of yourself. Sign me up. The site indicates that are other prizes as well, such as TurboTax downloads. Which is great, except the contest winners aren't announced until April 15. The day that taxes are due. Well done, Intuit.
Challenge - I dare anyone out there to watch the homemade videos in the entirety. I personally think that the Ned Beaty rape scene in Deliverance is more palatable than these videos. Simply awful.
