Assignment 3: Epic Rap Battles Of History!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3w2MTXBebg

This video much like many others from this user pits different historical figures against one another to see who can make the other look like a fool. The fact that in this video there are two prominent writers of their times respectively come and face each other is amusing. Even more amusing is that they "Diss" each other in their own form of speech. If this was put on "traditional" T.V it wouldn't have curses in it first of all, although there might be more episodes or videos at a time because they would have a larger cast, but the ideas would probably be much different than it is currently
