Can You Bear It?

The expression 'camper than a row of tents' comes to mind when watching the video of the Dutch Bearband Bearforce 1. I have had the pleasure of talking a couple of times with the yellow-shirted band member (just talk, unfortunately) and can say that he is actually a sweet guy. And he and his body are well-known in Amsterdam, especially now that he is on the poster for Furball (a hairy men dance party) this month. I like the idea of this anti-boy band and even the silly dance moves are entertaining. It's just unfortunate that the music itself, a sort of collision of classic gay pophits re-sung, doesn't really do anything for me. I doubted it would go anywhere but apparently Perez Hilton picked up on it and the link from that renouned gossip site got the video 200.000 views in one day, so who knows... they might find their way to furry fame.
