Sport imitates viral marketing: Olympic-caliber skaters adapt the OK Go “A Million Ways” video.
My favorite bits: the male skater flapping his arms like a chicken while skating backwards and kicking, and the slo-mo karate chop.
Also, the announcers seem unaware that the odder moves are copied from a music video. And they seem bewildered by those self-same odd moves. Delicious!
In case you’ve forgotten the splendor of the original…
The skaters do their best, but OK Go wins.
