Don’t you wish that your school was cool and edgy? Maybe that for once, the school play could be something not from the Nobody Wants These Movies DVD bin at Wal-Mart. My high school was plagued with singing cowboys and cute country sweethearts locked together in songs of love and the country. It was disgusting. Is there really nothing better for students to sing about spinach and “termayters?” I don’t care if it won Academy Awards, Oklahoma! is the lamest thing to have ever lamed in the history of lame. The video below, on the other hand, is fudging awesome.

Behold as these children star in the elementary school production of Scarface.

Fudge yeah. Although I may have chosen Fun Dip as a substitute for cocaine instead of popcorn, it still works. Watching baby Tony Montana seizure at the end is a delight and hearing “fudge” coming from these little kids is equally entertaining. I may or may not volunteer to babysit my nieces and nephews just so I can re-enact it.

And no, it’s not real. Put down your manicured nails and get out of your vans, PTA moms. It’s fake. This is an elaborate production filmed about a month ago by Marc Klasfed, a music video director who’s worked with Jay-Z, mouse-face Avril Lavigne and the always-amusing Foo Fighters. According to the LA Times, Klasfed used professional child actors in a rented theater in Koreatown, California. The audience consisted of family, friends and random extras.
