Cultural snapshots.
Jun. 9th, 2009 11:14 pmAn article about a recent phenomenon.
A video about it:
I saw the video before I read the article (hat tip to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anaisdjuna), and thought "wow, this has to be a parody or something." Then I googled the title to look up some more information on the artist (uh ... it made sense to me at the time), and I found the article linked above.
I would never have guessed. The article is written in a serious journalistic style and appears to be well-researched; the video is comedic to say the least. A cultural trend being promoted through humour, perhaps?
