this is the new dance craze sweeping the southern united states. the dance is based on the way bernie moves in the 80s classic, weekend at bernies. i can't decide if this is awesome or scary...

What struck me the most about this video was one (among many) of the USA's most serious health problems:
Obesity should be addressed through a comprehensive approach across multiple settings and sectors that can change individual nutrition and physical activity behaviors and the environments and policies that affect these behaviors. New and continued national, state, and community-level surveillance of obesity, its behavioral risk factors, and the environments and policies that affect these behaviors is critical to monitor progress in obesity prevention and to target interventions.
Over the past decade, obesity has become recognized as a national health threat and a major public health challenge. In 2007--2008, based on measured weights and heights (1), approximately 72.5 million adults in the United States were obese (CDC, unpublished data, 2010). Obese adults are at increased risk for many serious health conditions, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, and premature death (2,3). Adult obesity also is associated with reduced quality of life, social stigmatization, and discrimination (2,3). From 1987 to 2001, diseases associated with obesity accounted for 27% of the increases in U.S. medical costs (4). For 2006, medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at as much as $147 billion (2008 dollars); among all payers, obese persons had estimated medical costs that were $1,429 higher than persons of normal weight (5). In 2001, the Surgeon General called for strong public health action to prevent and decrease overweight and obesity (3).
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) measures height and weight through self-report in state-based surveys; data are released every year. In 2000, a Healthy People 2010 objective was established to reduce the prevalence of obesity among adults in the United States to 15%.* This objective is based on obesity prevalence from measured height and weight among participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Because NHANES provides only national and not state-specific estimates, CDC uses the state-based BRFSS data and applies the 15% prevalence figure as a reasonable target for self-reported obesity prevalence in the states. As of 2007 (6), no state had met the Healthy People 2010 objective to reduce the prevalence of obesity among U.S. adults to 15%. To characterize the most recent trends, CDC used data from the 2009 BRFSS survey to estimate the national and state-specific prevalence of obesity among adults aged ≥18 years.

(While dancing is a good aerobic exercise, it obviously isn't enough all by itself.) |

I have tried doing it before and it didn't look nearly as cool as when the guys in the video do it judging from all the laughter I heard  |

How can you celebrate something that requires absolutely no skill or talent. At least the Soulja Boi had moves (and yes, I learned it when I was attending UNC).
However, look at these:

| Hahaha, that's too funny. My only question is how many of those dudes had ever seen Weekend at Bernie's before the song came out? I've met a lot of people younger than me who'd never heard of it. |

This dance is WAY better than that dumb Soulja Boy dance! I honestly hope you're a woman because it is NOT okay for a grown man to be doing the Soulja Boy. |

The point is, none of these dances are "okay". They are all 50% LOL and 100% retarded. They are concocted to be marketing techniques so that the label/"artist" can make a quick buck by creating a quick fad which only the ignorant take seriously.
I'm a dude. Soulja Boi is also a dude. Girls should do the Soulja girl (gyrl?)
edit: Actually, the general populous should refrain from doing any of these dances. |
