If a Cisco Intern Raps on YouTube, Does It Make an Interesting Sound?

Okay, BoomTown will bite.

Here’s a video of Greg Justice, a social media intern in the Cisco Systems (CSCO) Communications department, who has just dubbed himself “The World’s Most Interesting Intern.”

A sample of a challenge Justice is putting out to other corporate summer servants via a rap song: “I’m courteous and affable, my name badge is retractable/You other interns laughable, your thermos must be half as full.”

Oh dear, but it is late June, it’s a cute effort from the dullish Silicon Valley networking infrastructure company and he is kind of adorkable:

    This kid's got some impressive chutzpah. I mean, how many of us would have the guts to film an original rap and then send the footage to Kara Swisher?? Huge props, Mr. Justice.

    Come on Kara…this guy made the Cisco stock price run 30 points in afterhours trading. Chambers will have him turning out more songs than the Beatles before he retires… :)

When I first heard about Facebook, in 2005, I thought it was really stupid. And the same with eBay 20 years earlier.
