To Err Is Human, To Have Air Sex, Asinine
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I remember a time when hipsters who wanted to organize a social activity that required no real skill, could be engaged in while drunk, and chortled at ironically before, during and after the festivities, they just played kickball.
Well, in Austin, TX, the bar has been raised.
Welcome to the era of Air Sex, which is, in the words of Tim League, founder of the Alamo Drafthouse and the Air Sex World Championship, "sort of like Air Guitar, except instead of pretending to play an invisible guitar on stage, contestants get up there and pretend to have sex with someone who isn’t there. With their clothes on, typically. They pick a song to perform to and then have two minutes to impress the judges with their overall Airness.”
According to League, Air Sex started in this country after he saw a YouTube clip from in a bar in Japan, and decided to start it up at his own tavern. And now, it's spreading across the country faster than swine flu.
Since I know you pervs are thinking about it, video is here, and it's only not safe for work in that it's really, really stupid. OK, maybe it's a little not safe for work, there was something going on with a woman who was pretending to be Sarah Palin and a guy in a wolf suit that looked a little troubling.
I guess it depends on where you work.
Anyway, the Air Sex tour schedule has been announced and will be coming to 15 North American cities in June. Check the website to see if your hometown is among the lucky ones.
