With the help of the Internet, the road to stardom can truly take weird and unconventional paths.

For example, just last week someone climbed into Antoine Dodson‘s sister’s bed and tried to rape her. He made his thoughts on the incident very clear to Hunstville, Alabama’s local TV news affiliate WAFF. Someone recorded the newscast and uploaded the clip to YouTube. Now Antoine’s an Internet superstar with fan sites, t-shirts and, the crowning honor, a slew of fan inspired auto-tune remixes like the one above title “Bed Intruder Song!“.

If you really like the Auto-Tune Remix, it’s for sale on iTunes here.

Here’s the original news report which you should definitely check out. It currently has over 3.5M views on YouTube:

In light of Internet sensation Dodson’s, um, sensationalism, we’ve put together a few of our favorite viral videos that also got the Auto-Tune treatment. Enjoy.

1. Antoine Dodson, of course. Sing along and fight crime all in one fell swoop. Thumbs up for justice.
2. Oh my god! The Auto-Tuned Double Rainbow! It’s so intense! (But what does it mean?)
3. Obama + T-Pain = awesomeness. (“amputation … boop!“)
4. Chahlee’s bites strike an emotive chord in this dramatic rendition of Charlie Bit Me.
5. Tragedy sounds better Auto-Tuned.” Start with Episode 1 of Auto-Tune the News and be prepared for a marathon viewing sesh.

BTW – don’t forget to go home tonight and hide your kids, wide and husband.
