Dancing in my Underwear

A rite of teen passage

[graywolf]

After spending quite a bit of time on a YouTube mashup project I must admit I am amazed at how many teens (boys and girls) post videos of themselves dancing around in underwear on the internet.

Maybe deep down there's some primal need to strip down to your tighty whities and do your best Tom Cruise or Madonna impersonation.

I wouldn't be too concerned, until your significant other and the FBI and INTERPOL find out how many videos you've been watching of boys and girls dancing around in their underwear.

You’re safe Graywolf... .they’ve got their underpants on. According to a Time article on blogs recently "People are getting their understanding of the world from random lunatics riffing in their underwear, rather than professional journalists with standards and passports." So it’s also the bloggers you’ve got to watch out for.

Hi JJ,

If a few more journalists had standards and used passports then the world would be a better place.

If I was a teen I know who I would rather watch in any case!

Next step: YouTube/MySpace sponsors random teens with passports and (inchoate) standards to perform on-the-spot reports while dancing in their underwear.
