I unfortunately have heard of her - and her song. Be glad you haven't heard of her.

I think a member of MENSA's IQ would go into the negative after watching Rebecca Black....

Ok I clicked the link and lost quite a few IQ points by watching half of it.

I'm glad I'm getting old.

Likewise. I've added those names to the list with Chuck Norris on it being names I really don't need to know anything about.

I put a warning that a few IQ points would be lost. That alone should be warning enough.
