Turbo Tax Does Tax Rap With Vanilla Ice

taxrap_vanilla_ice.jpg

Sort of along the lines of logic (or complete and purposeful lack there of) that resulted in Robert Goulet appearing in an Emerald Nuts Super Bowl commercial, Intuit has tapped Vanilla Ice (where the hell has he been all these years?) to front a Tax Wrap promotion for Turbo Tax. The promotion offers $25,000 to the person who makes the best homemade rap demo about taxes. So far, there aren’t too many submissions and they are all embarrassingly horrible. We really don’t know what to do with this one. Trash it for its use of a has-been to get all jiggy with one of the most financially serious periods in a person’s life or praise it for its brilliant quirkiness and kitschy badness.
