Friday Humor - Badger, Badger, Badger
OK, so here is a great end of Friday item. I love stupid web obsessions and weird creations - especially ones that have built in back stories. Love it. So I bring you Badger, Badger, Badger (flash, sound). Listen to it, and watch yourself being transfixed by the sheer lunacy of it.
When you are done with that, see A bunch of geeks doing Badger, Badger, Badger and some some more geeks doing Badger, Badger, Badger. And then read criticism of their performance in this Slashdot thread about installing Linux on a dead badger:
Perhaps the saddest aspect of this video is the fact that most of them do the badger dance so... poorly. The tall one on the right has the right instincts for synching up the arm waving and knee bending, so I give him credit for that, but it's not how the badgers actually do it. And the rest of them do very little to dispel certain stereotypes about the lack of rhythm in the heterosexual Caucasian male. If these guys fail to reproduce (which seems likely), it's not because they're cruising the dance floor of their local gay bar.
So we have almost come full circle, touching many parts of the Geek Hierarchy: flash animation, humans reenacting flash animation, Slashdot users making fun of reenactors. Finally, see what hacks at Foocamp Cameron perpetrated.
