Uber Win

Is this the thread where we all get on and say Bettman's an idiot?

/because I'm waiting to get my weekly fix...

First, it's a Finnish goalie, so that doesn't count as real hockey. Second, it's the lamest dance ever.

jennyz: Gonna have to disagree... happens at weddings all the time, and happened all the time before MJ died.

But to be fair, Alcohol is usually a factor.

Epsilon: Funny how after MJ's death it's considered cool to spontaneously break out the Thriller dance. Prior to a few months ago it would have been uber-lame.

Thriller was made prior to Jackson's effort to change himself into a white woman and molest countless boys. In that respect, it's probably the one "monumental" thing he's done that isn't tainted by his later actions, and as it's cool, because it's "retro". It can be overdone... but hardly over that line yet; that idiotic Beyonce dance thing has been far more overdone than Thriller dance.

I'm not a particular fan of anything Jackson made, but stepping aside to be objective, Thriller is a memorable bit that's embedded itself into our global culture... and as a workout for a goalie, whatever else you might say... it does work.
