A JOKE WITH A NEARLY 30 YEAR OLD REFERENCE ISN'T ALWAY FUNNY

This was spotted via Boing Boing and it would have been chuckleworthy 1984 when Lionel Richie's hit song "Hello" came out.

However,  it will be lost on my son's generation it will leave them scratching their heads wondering who the heck it is - had to be old because nobody wears an afro these days -- maybe T-Pain dad, or 50 Cents?  How sad whoever is looking for their long-lost dad like he is a missing puppy.

I know if I would tell him it is an 80's song and he actually listened to it that it would be classified a pathetic 80's "whiner" song and the guy needs to get over it and "Hello!  Move on already, she just isn't into you!"
