Well, it was only a matter of time before this parody was brought down by YouTube.

Hey Founders Sing fans! "We Are the Worst" was taken down by YouTube due to a copyright claim by the writer of the original "We Are the World." The parodies we do are under FAIR USE like our other videos. We apologize as this is totally unexpected. Stay tuned! (Pun Intended)

That’s okay, because the moment you tell someone they can’t see something, it turns into a game of Whack-A-Mole.

Watch/listen here. And look! It popped up on YouTube again. For now. (Via DB)
