As Rome Burned They Danced

Here’s what I think.

    Don’t worry. They’ll all get jobs again. …As fluffers. (And I do mean all of them.)

    Holy shit that’s good. I thought you jumped the shark.

    IF you can time it to Rick Asley, that’d be nice.

    The saddest part of this is that they join a long line of retards who think they are cool by lip-syncing some music and uploading the video for others to watch.

    I lived in Cyprus from January to May.
    It’s a party island.
    And the Northern part…you have no idea.

    Don’t blame these guys.

    actually this “party” seems pretty lame… Why people get so angry about a bunch of young people smiling near a pool?

    When the world descends into chaos after the incredible stress of global temperature change and the subsequent lack of sustainable water & food sources, these people will still be at the party in Cyprus. But there’s a strong chance that they will have begun to eat each other…

    Sorry, but viagra has even made fluffers redundant so they won’t even get that job.

    It’s a bit weird how everyone thinks this is a big story.
    I guess I don’t care so much, because I’m not in SillyV, and the site I work for actually does something useful (it finds people jobs).

    But I do happen to like lip-sync videos.

    The most difficult part of the video is that the people are so hard to look at without cringing.

    “Brilliant” is all I can add after Andrew Eglinton’s perfect comment.

    Maybe they were presenting an allegory comparing Tony Soprano getting whacked to the current financial difficulties.

    By any chance was it a Members Only resort?

    One word is all that is needed: Deleveraging

    From 30 to 1 back to 1 leaves 29 without a G5 ride back from Cyprus.

    Hey, if you’ve got it… flaunt it! The money, that is! Wasn’t it Dorothy Parker that said something like, “If you want to know what God thinks about money, look at the people He gave it to?” Bless them.

    Sopranos and Web 2.0, 2 fade out’s with bad Neal Schon Journey. Don’t Stop Believin’, meant in the ironic sense, you see.

    Attention Cyprus Camp members please report to your boss so you can be fired immediately. Oh you can twitter it.

    They should be embarrassed to show their faces in public again.

    Looks like the original video has been pulled down. You need to save this one for the archive. It is so embarrassing for all involved.

    Web2.0 hubris
