I Know This Is A Little Late...

But people can attest to my mentioning this the instant I saw it:

Why the hell is Rebecca Black even thinking about getting into a car being driven by a bunch of 13-year olds?
WAIT FOR THE BUS YOU MORON!


Also, why is there an issue of which seat to take? The front seats both clearly have people sitting in them.  Is she that self-centred that she somehow just did not notice them?  For that matter, it's freaking a convertible!  It's a major struggle just to fit one person in the back seat in all but the biggest of of them.  You've already crammed two people back there, and I'm 90% sure that no company makes a convertible with a full five seats.
***Upon further digging, I have found out that the car in the video is a Chrysler Sebring.  No model of the Sebring has ever been made with 5 seat belts (or even 5 fully formed seats).  Bravo, Rebecca Black, bravo.

Taking this idiocy one step further, let's suppose that this was a super magical convertible that actually did have five seats - lets call it, say, the Chrysler Hypercube.  In this scenario, Miss Black would be a total bitch if she were to force the guy in the front passenger seat to cram into the back of the Hypercube with two people already sitting there.  Especially so, given that the only seat that's available is the middle one, which is always the smallest and has the least leg room.  Shorter and skinnier people go in the back of convertibles, that's just how it works.  You may have a stunning 77.5 million views on your awful, awful video (and an even more impressive 1.5 million dislikes vs 188 thousand likes), but you're not above the laws of physics (even if this Hypercube is).  Hell, just forcing someone who got in the car before you to move once they're already seated comfortably is pretty low by itself.

Oh well, at least this ridiculousness led to a host of excellent parodies.
