Proof that euro-dance music can destroy the appeal of just about anything.

Need. More. Coffee.

The '80s called, they want their clothes back.

That said, it is a cute and fun video.

I'm so proud.

I love their clothes also.

At what point does one become a bear? Is there a cut-off for body hair percentage?

(That said, body hair on women, a turn-on. Body hair on men, not as much.)

Ah, reminds me of my (giant furry) friend Sparky, who introduced me to ursamen...

It's a self-indentifying thing. No rules. :) Well, other than being male, I guess.

Hay, if these guys are having Joy at what they do, it'll come right through. And I think it does. More power to 'um.

As for the "what is a bear?" BP has got it right. There are groups out there and there are more groups, but they each have more internal variation than you can shake a whip at.

Bears can't dance.

But this destroys my childhood memories of Yogi and BooBoo (well, John K.'s revisionist Ranger Smith cartoons did that already...)

They're too skinny (well, except maybe the pink-shirt one). Still, despite the execrable music (bad cover of grizzled disco hits that were perfect the first time around) and fashion, it's a cute video in a super cliche'd kind of way.

Those ridiculous polo-shirts kinda ruin the whole macho bear dude thing.

I did a double-take on this one, and then I remembered that you live in Eugene.
