A Note on the Harlem Shake, East Windsor, Windsor Locks Boards of Selectmen

Good morning, Windsor Locks and East Windsor! Today is Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013; there are 315 days left in the year.

Hi gang. Look, there are certain things that friends - real friends - don’t let their friends do.

To wit:

Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.

Friends don’t let friends beer goggle.

Friends don’t let friends drink and Tweet. (Thanks Perez Hilton)

Add one more to the list.

Friends don’t let friends Harlem Shake.

What the what is this, uh, stuff? Look, I’m all for a good, kitschy meme. Heck, I liked many of the Call Me Maybe and Gangnam Style videos.

But the Harlem Shake is just dumb. Even the Norwegian Army is in the act. Ugh.

And the dumbing down of humanity continues unabated.
