I was watching the skateboard competition on TV at work, I work in a hospital so it was a patient’s room(I’m on the Lift-Team)so I dont know what channel it was, probably cable, but in-between runs the network snuk in a video that still has me asking, WTF!?
It was a type of video, and music, AND subject matter that is the exact antithesis of skateboard ethos, the stuff that the OG skaters probably railed against and trash-talked back in the day, and I dont think anything has changed even today, except of course the money that the record company/network paid the skaters to be a part of this abomination. First of all, the name of the singer/rapper was Asher Roth, I mean, how much more Jew can that name be?? Like one of those names on Shindlers List…”Name?”..”Schlomo Finkle”..”Next”…Asher Roth”…I mean, you could tell this dude had his big-time daddy Jewish BIGSHOT pay some BIG BUCKS to get this song onto the skateboard finals. Second, not only was it a terrible and goofy song, but it was about girls not wanting to be hit upon in a disco but only wanting to “dance”…..how much more lame and anti-skate is that?? How nutless can a song be?? I mean, sticking a Mariachi song in there would have been more appropriate. The last thing is, this video is so inherently “bubble-gum” lame, that the network or somebody inserted shots of the skaters mugging, giving the “shaka” and various other hand signage and doing stunts throughout the video, therby trying to make it more palatable, more viewer/skater friendly, a skate cred stamp of approval kind of thing, but all that did was to highlight how out-of-place this video-drivel was. Does anyone have a comment on this? Did anyone see this THING???
