There's a saying I drag out every now and then (usually when I'm defending my interest in seeing a particular movie or performance piece): It's not how well the bear dances, it's that he dances at all.

While I've applied it to a lot of things over the years, it's seldom been as apt as with what I discovered this weekend. For a charity event, one of Britain's top dance groups had a dance-off...with BBC newsreaders.

I think this really, really needs to happen over here. And not just because I have a hunch that Keith Olbermann has some moves, yo.

I hate you for putting this idea in my head! I want this now!!!

Olbermann might have some moves, but I think Maddow is the one who could really break it down. XD

While my first instinct was to respond "Charity, shmarity! LET THEM DANCE FOR OUR AMUSEMENT!", it does seem to be a shame that there isn't a big, regular charity-thon that unites this country the way Children In Need and Comic Relief does for you folks. The closest we have is the Jerry Lewis Telethon for the Continued Semi-Relevance of Jerry Lewis.

that was made of win.

The Jerry Lewis telethon is about 100 times easier to take if you continually holler "DANCE! DANCE FOR MY AMUSEMENT, YOU COMEDY PUPPET!" at Jerry Lewis. Because he will.
