Inspired, Piercing "U Can't Touch This" Routine
Our sister site over in Shanghai notified us to this.
Sure, on the surface it seems like a viral, isn't-that-darling clip of a Chinese man executing a well-choreographed tribute to "U Can't Touch This" by Oakland native MC Hammer. But the underlying theme here is a heartbreaking one of a young man craving a scrap of affection from a frosty and heartless mother whose only concern is that of her gauge. Watch it and just try holding back the tears.

i just shat.
You're completely missing the subtext. The young man is expressing a triumphant desire to rise above the neglect of his parents. It's a celebration of the human spirit. U Can't Touch This, indeed!
Not bad. I was feelin it. Especially in the beginning. Would be better with baggier pants and more room for him to hit it even harder.
That woman cracks me up! It seems to me that she has been through the same sessions a umpth-teenth times.
That boy has the moves.
That boy is in China's huge army corp. Check out his army pants. Check out his army recruit buzz.
