There seems to be a whole lot of recent developments in science fiction-based user generated content on the Internet these days. This still picture video by Ultra-Geek and Star Trek fanatic Klenginem is by no doubt way up there with the most unusual.
In this video, Germany’s Klenginem translates Slim Shady’s Hip Hop hit ‘Without Me’ from English into the official Klingon vernacular.
After listening to this bizarre rap remake, I’m thinking that this guys phaser might be set to stunned. How do you say nerd in Klingon?
