Harlem Shake, U of M edition

If you're like me, you were hoping you could just let this whole Harlem Shake meme blow over. Unfrotunatley some U of M students took it upon themselves to make their own version of the video and upload it on youtube yesterday.

Damn, 34,000 views in just 21 hours. If you are wondering "what the fuck is the Harlem Shake?" Wired has a good discussion of it here.

  1. Participatory memes are synonymous with bourgeois: the least possible creativity, the worshipping of mediocrity and samey samey, leading to the inevitable and willing rape by commercial marketing. Great job, kids.

  2. These are like train wrecks for me. I want to look away, yet strangely I can't stop watching.....
