Will they finally ban "Dutty wuk"?*

Have you seen the front page of today's Nation newspaper? I think you should have a quick look here.

Yes, that's right another girl doing the now infamous "dutty wuk". But this is not new so why did I dedicate an additional post to it? ... Because, finally it has been documented (Ref- See front page of today's Nation newspaper and the continuation on page 4) that persons are actually dying from doing this dance! A dance I might add, which some night clubs (no name, no blame, no lockup) seem to promote (with competitions and prizes and such).

So in summary, girls, please, it is not cool, you can seriously injure yourself while doing this "rhythmic, rapid spinning of the neck and posterior simultaneously in opposite directions" (as The Nation describes it). And, like that 18-year-old girl they mentioned in the aforementioned article, you can die from the injuries sustained doing the dance. Now tell me, you would like to die from doing a dance? .. Really? Then again, I'm sure you will be remembered....... or not.

If persons don't take this seriously, someone (or organisation) with the authority may have to intervene and put a "ban" on this dance (not sure how they'll do/implement that one) and possibly also stop the the song from being played on the radio. I figure it'll take probably 1 person in Bim to die doing this dance and then, the "public" will start to speak... But won't that be 1 person too late?

(For those of you who've never seen the dance (if indeed that set of people exists), you can go to YouTube and do a search for "dutty wine" and watch a video or two to be educated on how... "unique" (for lack of a better word) this dance is.)

Jeeze ... and I thought _I_ was an old fogey ...
lol ... but seriously, the dance is a bit ridiculous ... and not in the least bit alluring ... Hopefully the latest dance sensation ... the "hot f**" will take over ... and we won't have any more of these incidents.
