That Old Pair of Jeans
A set of unrelated activities brought me down a twisted path to the video below. It is clearly the best display of juggling ever witnessed by humans. Fuck clowns, this is what juggling is about.
Four interesting things to note about this video.
1. This was apparently part of a Fatboy Slim contest to make a video for his song, “That Old pair of Jeans”. I don’t know why all the videos had to be about juggling. Maybe someone could fill me in. I tried going to the Fatboy site, but the splash page was just to disturbing to continue.
2. Shockingly, this video DID NOT win the contest. The winner was from a professional juggler by the name of Chris Bliss. This has lead to quite the uproar (at least on the Youtube message boards). Depending on whom you believe, Bliss is an incompetent, one-note bastard hackjob or he’s entertaining and his video fits the song better. His version is on Youtube as well, if you are interested in seeing it. Personally, I thought it sucked (although the intro was hilariously cheesy). He juggles like he’s having a seizure. This site explains the crap that is Bliss in more detail.
3. There are also a lot of other video entries for this contest on Youtube, if you are in the need of a way to waste half a day. Some are technically good and really gay and others just suck.
4. I got sick of the song way before the juggling. Be warned. It will stick in your head badly.
