Rapper Nas led a rather humorous protest in front of Fox News headquarters today. TV Newser among others was there to get in on the action.

The hip-hop star joined about 50 protesters, (less than another anti-FNC protest in 2004) from two organizations: ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org who called on the network to, “stop its racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.”

The protesters stood quietly for about an hour until Nas appeared, most holding pre-made or hand-made signs. Many Fox News employees came to check out the scene, including Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld and some of the show’s staff. “This is quite possibly the most boring protest ever,” he told us.

But that was before Nas arrived. The hip-hop star emerged from an SUV to a flutter of cameras, made his way to the front of the protesters and gave a short speech, before heading back into the SUV.

Nas’s charge of racism seems oddly timed considering he’s currently promoting his new album called “Nigger.” I’m guessing he missed the irony of the album title as well as his unique fashion choices recently.
