Some guys at my school actually did a huge performance of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWetGqX9uFc

I was there, but there were so many people it was hard to get a good look :grumpy:

Lee Sedol, Yu Jae-Suk... Pretty much the same appearance, huh... :roll:

'Gangnam Style' dance comp leads to gang riot

At least 50 bullets were fired by two gangs of teenagers with a long-standing feud in the heart Bangkok on Friday morning after they argued following a "Gangnam Style" dance competition, police said.

[...]

While they were partying and drinking, they competed against each other in "Gangnam Style" dance. The two sides began to quarrel as the competition got more intense and one of the groups later left the venue, he said.

"Four people from the group returned at 6am and fired several shots into the sky. I tried to mediate and they agreed to leave," the teenager said.

"Three of them later returned about 8am and they sprayed bullets in all directions like in action movies. I and other people there were running for our lives."


I'd be laughing much harder if it weren't for the fact somebody could have gotten killed.

(Then again, I have an intense dislike of K-pop, which I find irritatingly derivative, with the male singers dressed like fops and having what looks like so much TV make-up that they look almost asexual.)

Silly people will fight over anything. This song just happened to be the focal point for the fight. It could have been anything. Violent people will be violent people just as good people will be good people.

I don't see why you dislike Gangnam Style, then. It seems pretty atypical K-pop.

Yeah, odd. Let’s try this—turn up the volume and enjoy!



I’ve never been too big a fan of marching bands (much less of marching), but these folks really are fan-friggin’-tastic!

(In case this also gets “removed by user” just search for gangnam style ohio university marching on YouTube.)

I searched yesterday. The video is mildly entertaining, since the band actually has some interesting dance moves, but it didn't draw me enough to watch it til the end.
