Keepin' it real fake, CeBIT edition: Dancing Like The Stars

We just can't visit a trade show and not scope out at least one KIRF. It's just not possible. Here in Hannover, we happened upon a rather unusual one in a booth selling all sorts of DVDs to resellers willing to buy absolute rubbish and attempt to flip it. Apparently, Dancing Like The Stars is the long-tenured, very fake version of the show we Americans know best as Dancing With The Stars. A subtle difference, sure, but does this man above look anything like The Woz? No, no he does not. Not even at 800 percent magnification.

How the exact fuck is this news?

It's a set of educational DVDs. You know, to learn how to dance like the stars. Of dancing.

Get some sleep, Darren. Or take a vacation. This article is horrible, and not the funny kind of horrible.

You hear that? It's the sound of scraping.

This guy "Darren" seems to be getting a beating from guys here.
He's brought in superb articles before, let him easy on this one

[AMiSHPiRACY Posted Mar 5th 2009 9:07AM]

Is it a bad angle, bad photoshop, or is his neck really like that?

it really is total garbage like this piece from darren that shows there is a need for a rating system not just for comments but also on trash like this.

[Richard Posted Mar 5th 2009 6:30AM]

Dude, chill! Engadget is a blog, so Darren's done nothing wrong with posting this article.

[DeadRebel Posted Mar 5th 2009 8:29AM]

1) Who cares?
2) It's not your god damn website, go away if you don't like it. Geez.

I'll tell you all something. I know this is going to sound crazy, but if I see an article that doesn't interest me, on any site for that matter, you know what I do? I *gasp* DON'T READ IT! I know, it's fuckin' crazy, but that's how I roll.

[superhobo Posted Mar 5th 2009 5:25AM]

Does it even look like a show to you? Seems like instructional DVDs.

What nonsense, Darren.

[JoseElMaton Posted Mar 5th 2009 6:31AM]

Holy shit, it's The Stupendous Yappi!

[RichTechMMX Posted Mar 5th 2009 7:01AM]

Does anyone think the bloke on the samba poster have an abnormally long neck!!!!
Genetic engineering anybody

[Sweet Dude Posted Mar 5th 2009 8:43AM]

Yeah, it definitely looks like Gob. He would never dance and get all sweaty in his SIXTY THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR SUIT! COME ON!

[Kid Red Posted Mar 5th 2009 10:34AM]

Steven Segal is on Dancing with the stars?!?!

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2009 12:55PM]
