Wherein Oso and Sparky lose half of their female audience amid stammering complaints about the “sexualization, objectification, and ethno-exoticization” of women.

Oso and Sparky don’t understand the fuss. They just keep doing their dance.

Update: In a rather worrisome development, Sparsh has unwisely offered up next week’s bonus track to whoever can name the most movie clips from the podcast. What this means is HP is going to pay someone (who does not spend all day reading conservative blogs) to do the research for him. Then he is going to subject us to some god awful track by The Game. So, I plead, someone name more of the movie clips than whoever HP hires.

You know the deal:

Meanwhile, no better way to start the week than some good old shadenfraude:

From a post titled “New Mexican Celebrity” by an Argentine blogger living in Mexico:

An 11-year-old kid has become a complete celebrity because of a joke done to him by a friend while a third filmed it. The boy, named Edgar, is your typical 11-year-old chubby kid.

It turns out they were in a nearby park or forest and when it became time to cross a small river, the first kid (who had already crossed) started to move the improvised “bridge” and Edgar started in with his screams: ““No güeeeeey, ya güeeeeeeeey, stop itttt!!!” etcetera until he finally fell and started to cry while insulting his “friend.”

It seems like a small thing, but one day it occurred to someone to upload the video onto YouTube where it met impressive success. 250,000 people watched the original and many more have watched the alternative versions that have started to come out which add special effects and other strange things. It appeared in all the major newspapers around here (which is how I heard about it). The video even has inspired various web pages, fan clubs, blog posts, flash games, etc. It’s become a complete sensation.

There’s even a t-shirt! And Eduardo has more on Edgar’s more general significance.
