The Back Dormitory Boys. I can’t watch this video without tripling over in laughter. Sure, they’re funny guys … just check out those elastic facial expressions and that genious choreography. And the roommate in the background? Priceless!

But the funniest thing to me is how they’re capitalizing on China’s veneration of boy bands. My students can’t believe it when I tell them that their favorite Backstreet Boys songs were popular 10 years ago in America. To them, it’s cutting edge stuff … and let me tell you, Chinese kids love cheezy drama. I wouldn’t be surprised if these boys actually love this music!

And to top it off … I heard on CCTV last weekend that these two guys just signed a “lucrative five year deal” to make advertisements for Motorola. How hilarious is that?
