Well, all the gross stuff is uninteresting to me, but it's not in this video. I have been to plenty of strip clubs and they tend to all do the same thing, so that gets boring. Most of the strippers (not all, but most) are also completely untalented and rely solely on being naked for entertainment. At least in this video there was an effort to do something different. I have seen some burlesque revival stuff that is pretty interesting and artistic. Also, a lot of the fire performance crowd integrate some eroticism in to their acts and i find those very interesting. My up-vote is for this video, not for the artist as a whole (i don't really know much about her).

i find most art and stage shows incredibly dull. this was not. Call me perv if you like, but the nude female form is beautiful to watch. They had some interesting dance stuff going on and interesting concepts.

I won't call you a perv, but I will point out that there used to be these things called strip clubs. Where you'd go, and watch all the naked dancing female forms you'd like, without the defecation, drinking of urine, and hissy-fits on stage, and has the basic premise of what you just watched.

...Nipples are somehow more alarming than labia?

Exactly, It's comedy, at a comedy festival. It's not supposed to be sexy or slick or burlesque. It's supposed to be cheesy and clompy. Same as the "Puppetry of the Penis" guys are not trying to be the Chippendales. If you add sex, it makes all the couples who have come along for a laugh uncomfortable.

That said. I can't wait to see where she's got the rabbit hidden...

How many times does it have to be said? She was not trying to be sexy. 'Sexy' is not part of the act.

Ugggh. This is a non-issue. So the guys a douchebag hypocrite. Worlds full of em, governments worldwide are filled with at least 70 percent of the same. So what. If the time and energy wasted to lambaste, poke fun, and come up with clever little quips like a schoolyard full of distracted apes was used to radically change the system for the better, well fuck. What would happen in 2 years that it would take several administrations to fuck up beyond all recognition? The founding fathers would recognize one thing if they were able to see this type of forum.....People are idiots who would rather let others make decisions concerning their destinies and talk horseshit along the way, than to have to really think, act, or accomplish.

By the way? Why is this punk-ass homo even still in the news? Answer: The news in non-news, diversion, infotainment doing little to affect change of collective realization. Maddow is but another talking head whose prime directive consists of a symphony of the self, played-out daily to the delight of her fan base. It's a tired burlesque baby....get a real job.

I can't agree with you at all.
I'm tired of people feeling like society needs to respect them or understand their differences. Should we all be this way? Kind and understanding? YES. But wake up and smell the sh t cause it's not smelling any better.
When you place yourself in the public eye you are asking for the world to judge you, whether you want it that way or not. And I apply this to all schools of thought not just about people with certain mental disabilities. Hell I hate it when people make fun of people who go LARPing (Ex: Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!) because that actually looks like FUN to me. But do I complain about it? No!
My friend told me the other day he was at a BDSM expo and they had a Burlesque show where anyone could sign up and dance. He told me the majority of women that signed up were plus sized women. This falls into the same bracket. If you are ok with the fact that you are plus sized, mentally challenged, developmentally disabled, whatever, that is GREAT. I love the fact that people can see what society says about them and give them (society) the middle finger and not care.
But you also have to respect the fact that society ISN'T going to change its views just because you think highly of yourself. When you step up onto the stage of life (which arguably is YouTube right now) to give your "burlesque show" (internet video), the majority of that audience is just going to see something to make fun of.


I do understand the point you are making, but i think as reasonable people we ought to differentiate between the case of someone overly confident of themselves (the fat dancing women) and someone who has a scientifically diagnosed mental illness.

Laughing at the fat women dancing may deter them from doing it in the future from the shame they feel, but i doubt our ridicule is doing this fellow a favour. He reminds me of someone in elementary school, kids laughted at her antics and yet she continued to do her antics in the future because she just couldn't make the link that the other kid's laughing was AT her and her antics were socially unacceptable.

I tried downvoting this, unfortunatley i'm not a bronze member.
I feel terrible at the fact that people are making fun of this, just watching the video i could tell this man clearly has a mental illness. Upon further reading the comments, it seems that my suspicions were true.
Come on seriously, dont vote this up and stop the jokes. You're making fun of someone's disability, it's just not right.
