I’ll just leave this here:
The senior citizens are rather endearing, and it’s a very healthy concept. For me, the weirdness really comes from Fox and Friends‘ Gretchen Carlson doing the ‘lasso’ part of the Gangnam Style dance. The original video has been viewed nearly a billion times on YouTube. I tired of the parodies months ago, but a slow news day at Fox took it beyond parody. There’s probably a word for this.
This is the type of clip that I’d expect to make it on The Soup, or The Daily Show / Colbert Report. They might miss it though because we’re headed into the weekend.

It could very well be the moment of zen on Monday.

That’s a quick turnaround from Bill O’Reilly thinking the song is meaningless gibberish since he doesn’t understand other languages exist. Probably justified it as a good way to appeal to all these people they don’t understand.

Does Gretchen have brain damage or something? Who does the lasso move backwards like that?
Oh, I may have figured it out -- from wikipedia “One of her childhood nannies was Michele Bachmann, the future Republican congresswoman.” That would f**k you up for life.

To paraphrase a certain Red vs. Blue character, the way Gretchen does her lasso doesn’t seem physically possible. Maybe she’s double-jointed.
