In a bid for tourism for the lake district, a rap video has been made interpreting (which is the least offensive word I can think of) William Wordsworth's classic poem. It features a rapping squirrel called MC Nuts and if that isn't quite enticing enough. He looks like some kind of deer-kangaroo hybrid. If you want to take the easy way out, here is the YouTube video for it (although it's worth using the link just so you can see it on an actual tourism website).

That is, um, weird. Was the Lake District at all lacking for tourists?

I mean, if it had been an actual squirrel, that might have got a lot of airplay, but that's just lame.

Umm... squirrels can't actually sing... though I bet they'd rap if they could.

I was in the Lakes recently and saw a TV interview with a guy from the tourist board. It seems they're not short of tourists, but like British Rail, they're the wrong kind of tourists - they want a younger crowd to come and appreciate the Lakes.
Can't see it working with this kind of dross though.
"Rap" music, spelt with a capital "C".

Torture advertisement. That could be something.

My point. You can do a lot with CGI and clever editing.

...with what, their skidoos and motorcross bikes?! These guys are out of their frigging minds!

Perhaps it's a Chav Eradication Program? Lure them to Lake Windermere then drown them.

The Pied Rapper of Bowness? Hmmm, could be something there.

A bit like a dark version of this HB idea
