Is there anything funnier than house music and french dancing?

At 10.37 on Tuesday night, the answer is no.

The roll call of politeness:

Dude in the suit: Frenchman, please.
Breakdancers: come on.
Black woman: oh, really.
Other woman: you need help. (said with a rise in tone at the end of the sentence to communicate sympathy and concern.)

The track is, as they say, a club banger, but the lo-fi typographic aesthetic, married to the “Dancing With the Stars” as produced by De Anza JC staging, leaves one with the faint whiff of oh-come-on-you-can’t-really-be-serious.

Found lilting seductively on the warm breath of an afternoon breeze…I wasn’t joking about the, um, intimacy of stoop sales in these parts. I’m not up on my lingerie terms, is this actually a negligee? A camisol? Teddy? Anyone?

Black Fortune 500 CEOs with a “babyface” appearance are more likely to lead companies with higher revenues and prestige than black CEOs who look more mature, an upcoming study says.

I have to call bullshit here.

Gary Coleman might be CEO in the joint, but not in the Fortune 500.

Teddy Ruxpin – CEO of a box of stuff at my parents’ house.

The most absurd Facebook friend request icon I have ever seen Part II

Pardon my page-rank-splitting title, but, well, come on man. Given that we have zero friends in common, I am not just going to have to pass, but you have been blocked, as well, as a result of your aesthetic absurdity.

Really?
