It's called, uh, "The Ballad of Billy John."

Billy John was a simple man, worked in the fields most his life.

That provided for his wife and kids and left his dreams on the side.

One day, when the kids left home, well, he picked up his guitar.

It had been a while, but his fingers still knew how to reach the heart.

He played a song 'bout life and love, his hopes, and regrets.

Then, with a little prodding from the missus, he put it on the Internet.

When the views started pouring in, tears of joy started to fall.

Then, they scrolled to the comments section, and this is what they saw:

"Eat a bag of shit, cuntface!"

"Go and blow your fucking dad."

"This shit just raped my ears. 'Never heard nothing so bad."

"I hope you fucking die!" and,

"I hope you get AIDS."

"You should just kill yourself."

"You're a fag."

"LOL! Gay!"

Billy John's wife watched her husband as he shrugged and tried to smile.

He put his guitar away, stopped, and stared at it for a while.

She knew he felt like a fool, and he'd never play again,

so she turned on her webcam, and let her message begin.

She said, "The man you've hurt tonight, I've watched for thirty-five years.

"He's got a kind and gentle soul, and, thanks to you, that soul's in tears."

And the people said,

"Shut the fuck up, fatty!"

"Show us your tits!"

"…one out of ten. I wouldn't bang…"

"I bet she'd try to eat your dick."

"You should go get sterilized so that you can't have kids."

Then, they Photoshopped a bunch of pictures of her covered in jizz.

Well, the video went viral — huh, 57 million hits —

and Billy John's wife became a meme on the Internet.

They played the clip on CNN and read tweets about her weight,

'cause I guess that's the sort of thing that the news does nowadays.

Now, Billy John and his wife did nothing wrong, and they weren't dumb.

They just hadn't paid attention to what we'd all become.

And, a couple weeks later, after avoiding it for some time,

a broken-down and changed Billy John finally went back online.

He found a page of a blogger still making fun of his wife.

He signed up, and made an account, and this is what he typed:

"Eat a bag of shit, cuntface!"

"Go and blow your fucking dad."

"Your shit just raped my eyes. 'Never read nothing so bad."

"I hope you fucking die, and I hope you get AIDS!"

And the world lost a Billy John, and it gained more of the same.

Thank you.

I'm high in church. I'm high in church.

Oh, God, please help me!

This is the worst!

I'm high in church. I'm high in church.
