The end must be near

Today I was flipping through the channels and I started watching Muchmusic. I saw the new Backstreet Boys video... and I actually thought it was very cool. This surely must be a sign of the apocolypse because I have always garnered an intense hatred for the whole boy band craze. But this new video actually shows that the Backstreet Boys have a sense of humour and don't have to create an expensive video full of cheesy choreographed dance moves and bad interpretive hand gestures such as the "finger wave" and the "air grasp." In this video, the "band" are dressed up as a bunch of Fubar/heavy metal knuckleheads. It is totally reminiscint of Heavy Metal Parking Lot. I have no idea what the song title is, and I honestly couldn't hum the song to save my life, but I was very impressed by the ultra-low budget video. The video is probably a last chance grab at some sort of credibility, but I have to give the guys credit for pulling it off. I will definitely file this under my "guilty pleasures" list. I never thought the day would come when I would actually say I enjoyed watching a Backstreet Boys video. Hopefully it's just a one-shot deal. If I say I like another video of theirs please shoot me!
