Yudhistirian Hips
One of the great pleasures of reading the Great Bong is the way he can take these wacky leaps across cultural references. Consider the adjective he concocted to describe Shakira's hips: Yudhistirian. He quipped:
"I said [”Please Shakira. Please just shake your Yudhistirian hips (since her hips “don’t lie”) Colombian style and do not bother to do Indian dance steps. Cause even with Farah Khan doing the choreography, your desi dance number sucked at the MTV Music Video Awards.” ]"
Priceless! Here is that dance* in question** as well a really funny paradoy (called "La Gordura" or "The Obesity") of the sexual hokum that Shakira peddles in "La Tortura" ("The Torture").
*Please see Sharanya's (a danseuse herself) critique of this nonsense as well. Farah Khan gets some hard love!
**And this is the best spoof ever of "Hips Don't Lie". LOL! My stomach hurts! Btw, I do recognize the fact that such videos can also be offensive but I have linked to them because they poke fun at pop starlets who peddle noise using their sexuality.
