The litigious dancer

<--These people are so getting sued.

Now many of you know that I am somewhat obsessed with the increasing resort to legal means to deal with social, political, and moral disputes. Now -- while this is certainly a problematic trend -- I'm not prepared to lament it quite yet. I mean, sure I think suing human rights violators for money you'll never collect is a bit of a problem, but what else are you going to do?

But now it's gone too far. The creator of the electric slide (boogiwoogiewoogie) has started suing people who do his dance incorrectly. Now come on, people! If there is a controversy over how to do the electric slide, we all know there exists but one valid way of settling the dispute: DANCE OFF!!!!
