Read MoreYou paid £750 for these wedding photos? YIKES!!

The other day, I was at Crossgates Mall, half-window shopping, half-purchasing things. I needed a new protective case for my cell phone, and a cursory check through all the Crossgates cell phone kiosks revealed one that fit my BlackBerry perfectly. “How much?” I asked. “It’ll be $13.” No problem, I thought as I reached into…

Ah, Rebecca Black. Remember her? The high school kid whose parents ponied up $4,000 to a vanity recording studio, with the results being this little day-of-the-week classic?
