The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
On Tempo, they still are showing the Dutty Wine video. The song is quite catchy I must confess.
But following the suspected deaths of some females as a result of doing the dance, shouldn't the video be pulled?
Oh, while I am to TV, those of you with access to BBC World, our resort will be featured on a segment on luxury All Inclusives this week. Fastrack is the name of the programme, and I believe it will air at 3:30 Jamaica time TODAY (4:30pm in the Eastern Caribbeah), 5:30am Jamaica time tomorrow (6:30am EC time) and on Wednesday night sometime. Check the BBC site for more info.
But anyway, TEMPO, please pull the video. Or are you relying on people to be responsible and sensible and not do the dance? Well that's not sensible or responsible!
Posted by yamfoot at November 13, 2006 06:10 AMI don't think they should pull the video. It still has not been proven conclusively that the person/s died as a result of doing the dance. Plus, people have died or become blind as a result of bungee jumping. It should be a personal choice whether or not you decide to do the dance so vigorously so as to cause damage to yourself. If the dutty wine is done as it was designed, it's a pretty interesting dance. If you know that you are not in shape or if you move your head too vigourously then you could have some problems.
Posted by: Kelly at November 13, 2006 10:28 AMI don't think they should pull the video either. Afterall, the song is still going to be played whether they do, so people will still be doing it. And with everything, moderation is needed. The creator of the dance actually said that some people are doing the dance wrong and it's really about your hairstyle which means that much neck movement is not needed.
I'm curious to see wht people's view are on this.
