Break Dance Results in Use of Racial Epithets

Maybe it's the Michael Jackson soundtrack, maybe it's the break-dancing, but there's something about this video that urges for the uncovering of some acid wash jeans and a red leather jacket to come out of the back of the closet. North Station might be new and clean(er than other stations) but it still isn't the type of place to go dragging your body all over the floor. If this were a full on subway dancing competition, or sometime in the eighties anyway, someone would have pulled out a flattened cardboard box "dance floor" and a boombox. The eighties may be full on in the past, but it's good to know that impromptu break-dancing still happens in the subway. The judgment seems biased in the eyes of the videographer/producer – though he well executed Worm does deserve bonus points. Remember using words like spic and chino isn't good for anyone.

Bonus videos of the day – because you couldn't get enough trolley from yesterday: 2 PCC trolleys pass each other on the Mattapan extension and Philly has trolleys too.

Wow. I think I'm gonna have to disagree with that worm judgment. It started off all right, but it definitely lost form and the stamina was pitiful. Question: Is this the effect of Dance Dance Revolution on society's breakdancing skills? Also since when is "chino" a racial slur and not simply bad fashion?
