Separating The Shane Mercados From The Boys

No matter what you do, at least watch the last 45 seconds of this video (via LA Rag via Gawker). You are welcome.

Hopefully one day someone will invent a technology that allows you to remove, or "cut" certain portions of a video out before uploading it to YouTube. FINGERS CROSSED. But until then we all suffer the unavoidable humiliation of being seen calling our moms into the bathroom to turn off the camera because our hands are soaking wet from our laughter tears.

I can't tell if that guy's gay or not. Cause I'm interested. He seems nice.

YouTube is how all people in the future will become attracted to each other.

"Mommy, how did you meet daddy?"
"Well, honey, he used to post videos on YouTube under the name Sexman. I knew right away we would be together forever."

Is this now officially the year of guys dancing provocatively to female pop songs on Youtube?

Yup, and that's why this year was awesome.

This almost makes up for the lack of a Gossip Girl recap. ALMOST.

Well, I figure if you have such a lack of shame that you would post a video of your choreographed routine to a Britney song on Youtube for the world to ridicule, having your mother be a part of it really isn't that big of a deal.

What's sad is that he is probably so proud of this.

No sad. Awesome. That little darling actually moved really ... nicely. I 'll leave it at that.

And wow, you made it sound so much worse than it actually was! I thought he was gonna wipe out and be all "Mommy! Help! Bleeding on the towels!"

A quick look at his video tags will answer that question. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/dietpoop/tags.png

Thanks, GayGum. You just made me watch some gay teenager dance in the shower. He didn't even slip or anything.

Dude comes so close to hitting his head on the wall of the shower. Probably would've made for a more interesting video. Might have even gotten him a write up on msnbc.com. You never know.

I have to say though, he did move well. But I did not see anything that was like the still image that YouTube shows as the image of the Video, so not bad at all...

I guess it is too late for this to be nominated for a Gummy, but it is certainly my favorite video of the year. Lots of LOLZ!!
