Dance Aren't the British Supposed to Be All Pithy and Proper?

Posted by on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 6:00 AM

Here, via Wonkette, is how the Guardian of London described that Michelle Obama dance video you've seen everywhere:

Barack Obama shook the world with the seismic news that his near-namesake was, almost literally, sleeping with the fishes. But the next day, it was his wife Michelle doing the shaking. Shaking that ass, to be precise.

Nooooooo. More on Michelle Obama's "grinding" and "throwing" of "shapes," plus a four-step guide to doing the Dougie, right here.

Keira Knightley was all pithy and proper discussing her reaction to googling Santorum on the The Daily Show last night.

I've noticed a trend lately of Brits saying "ass" instead of "arse" and "shit" instead of "shite." What the fuck is up with that?

Hey, leave Patrick Kingsley alone! (Aside from any career-boosting publicity, thanks...) He is ten kinds of awesome - just look at his hair and be assured:

@5280, Also biscuits are regularly called cookies over there now too.

@The News, It should be said that Michelle Obama BARELY danced. I felt a little slighted because I wanted her to be busting some moves!

Anyone else notice that she's been packing it on... Guess she's not regulating her diet as closely as she would like to regulate ours...
