Policeman Gets Hugged as Cult Icon Organises Flashmob

From Rambler News:

Dzhigurda organised a Harlem Shake flashmob on the Arbat and hugged a policeman

Crowds of teenagers in costumes and masks came to the Arbat. Participants in the flashmob were surprised by the scale of the event.

“Too many people came. We were just walking along the Old Arbat choosing a place to video it for about an hour. But, despite this, everyone looked like they were having fun”, said Dmitriy Luchko, a flashmob participant dressed in a leopard costume to a RIA Novosti correspondent.

The principle of the Harlem Shake is simple. To begin with, one man in a mask or a costume dances, while the rest go about their business. Then, the scene changes dramatically, and everybody in the video starts to make ridiculous and insane moves to fast music. This dance was invented by a Japanese blogger who filmed it on the 30th of January and uploaded it to the internet. Australian students followed his lead, and already after a few days, the whole world was dancing the Harlem Shake. Almost every new video gets a huge number of views. In total, more than 175 million people have watched videos with this dance in.

This is not the first time Nikita Dzhigurda has danced in the centre of Moscow. In December 2012, the actor performed the popular Gangnam Style dance in a kilt on Red Square.

Had the policeman been vaccinated? You never know …

Жили-были Дима с Вовой:

… there used to be people like this in clubs that were called “mass entertainers”, because they had no other talents, but wanted to have some kind of tiny skill! … in short, Dzhiga [Note: Dzhigurda] is an eternal wannabe!

Nice one Dzhigurda, if you don’t like it, then keep your mouth shut. Don’t judge others if your own life’s so crap.

Законопослушный Гражданин:

They need to swap him for Depardieu …

Мягкий Балу:

If they’d been wearing white ribbons, they’d all have been arrested. But because they were quite clearly messing about, they were even allowed to cuddle the police.

[Note: a white ribbon is a sign of protest]

This Dzhigurda is just a hairy scarecrow.

obryninv:

It would have been better if he’d led a flashmob where they clear the snow. At least that’d be useful!

Владимир Комашинский:

When you don’t have much talent, you’ve got to attract viewers however you can …

Василий Голов:

Degenerate.

акакий кек:

Now the policeman will probably get fired …

Из Самары:

“Dzhigurda hugged a policeman.” The first time I’ve ever felt sorry for the police. )

I’ve thought for quite some time that our comrade has become addicted to recreational drugs.

Российский менталитет:

Just a little male bonding.

Засем ругаися насяльника:

Dzhigurda has entered the “Guinness Book of World Records” as the only person in the world with a negative IQ.

What do you think? Is this version of Harlem Shake better than this one?
