It’s hard to explain the premise behind this…other than to say it’s supposed to entice people to come to the annual “Mather Lather” foam dance. For those who may miss the joke, the hapless and/or scrawny Asian being force fed into the spin cycle is me, reprising a role as the hapless and/or scrawny Kirklandite from my last bit of (rather limited) youtube glory. Kirkland is our (i.e. Mather’s) rival by tradition, and their denizens, despite being the cannibalistic and barbaric brutes that legend has them be, are not often found wearing orange corduroys, pink track jackets, or paper signs with their house name attached. But in art, as in war and love, all is fair, especially if by art we mean the truly avant garde, the mind-meltingly innovative: youtube video.

Speaking of internet glory, ROFLCon was held at Harvard this past weekend. It’s basically a gathering of internet celebrities and their adoring fans into one place IRL and everyone talks about how awesome, weird, and awesome-because-it’s-weird the internet is. My inability to get my act together in time to register notwithstanding, I thought I’d at least put in my two cents. I would like to express my indignation that Two Chinese Boys were not invited to attend. Here are two examples of their talent / lack thereof. Given how much they’ve advanced the art of lip-syncing, and the hope they’ve given to procrastinating, awkwardly proportioned Asian boys the world over, one would imagine they’d get the keynote address. But alas, the media is cruel and fickle. Even new media.
