He's Zack! Stand Back! This Is His Awesome Bar Mitzvah Video!

Zack Freiman has an awesome, supportive family who helped him make a music video -- about himself, natch -- for his Bar Mitzvah. The resulting YouTube masterpiece, "I'm Zack," will become unmercifully stuck in your head and violate your brain more brutally than even Rebecca Black's "Friday."

So, what's this tween propaganda piece all about? Well, the basic idea is that he's Zack, and you should stand back because he's unique and fabulous. "I'm Zack" covers his love of gardening, cooking, gemology, the musical "Hairspray" and adequately-heated swimming pools.

Plenty of actual grown-ups don't have the chutzpah to make a music video about themselves, so it'll be interesting to see whether Zack still feels unique and tres chic ten years from now. But today, what the heck, let him have his moment, internet. The haters all just wish that they could be Zachary anyway.

I do feel sorry for the girl cousins in the background, though. They're clearly struggling to appear bored in the face of Zack's overwhelming fabulosity.
