... just a tad. Found linked this afternoon at netscape.aol.com, you better all get a gander at it now 'cause it's not likely to be around by the end of the day.
A group of serving military personnel in Afghanistan have re-created Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music vidéo. In the words of the creator/editor, "this is the temporary version, we have more scenes to cut, and edit, however with guys always on mission it is harder to film than you think."
I have to wonder if the boys at the Pentagon will actually allow them to ever finish it.
Whoever was it said that straight boys don't wear plaid, and don't dance either?

How interesting, Warren. The video is actually posted on Yahoo's home page as part of the news.
I find it interesting in such a homophobic society as our American military seems to be that Lady GaGa is deemed worthy of immitating. Do you imagine her photo is there amidst the nudes from Playboy?
Just more fodder to feed the American freak show we have in uniform these days.;-D

The Dancing Soldiers Of Afghanistan
JMG reader Bernard tips us that the Smoking Gun has all the dirt about the dancing soldiers in the Lady Gaga tribute clip that I posted yesterday. Your favorite's real name is Aaron Melcher.
The video was the brainchild of Aaron Melcher, a married 24-year-old soldier who graduated in 2004 from North Carolina's Gramercy Christian School. Melcher opens the video in a pas de deux, of sorts, with fellow enlistee Justin Baker, who is not nearly as enthusiastic a dancer as the gyrating Melcher, who incorporated elements of the original video's choreography in his desert remake. Melcher declined to answer questions. The video, he noted, was intended to be for "a couple of our friends and family and you can see that it has blown up way more than that...nobody in the video would like any further media coverage." When he first uploaded "Telephone: The Afghanistan Re-make," Melcher told Facebook friends to "feel free to share it with the world." He added, "it's the hotness." Melcher and several of his fellow soldiers have carefully monitored the spiraling number of views their video has received. On Wednesday, Pilon posted a brief update on his Facebook wall: "5,000 views...I'm going to be Famous!!!"
Lots more pics at the above link. The clip currently has almost 200K views.
