TREND ALERT! Crying While Dancing While Also Being an Asian Child is Apparently a Thing

It all started with the story of the cancellation of Philippine game show "Willing Willie" for coercing a crying child to slow grind to Snoop Dogg (while still crying) in front of a cheering audience. To wit:

Now I am no crying dancing child apologist, but there is a certain hilarity to the ridiculous juxtapositional layers of crying + dancing + child + overtly sexual hip grinding. It has the taste level of 7 layer refried bean dip: so wrong and yet so so enjoyable.

Out of curiosity I conducted a cursory YouTube search to see if crying while dancing was a THING (could it possibly be the new crying while eating??). To my surprise, not only is crying while dancing an emerging thing, but apparently crying while dancing while also being an asian child is a thing. In fact, I was hard pressed to find any video of any child who was crying their heart out while also dancing their heart out that didn't also happen to be asian.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Exhibit C (crying starts around 1:40):

Exhibit D (Christmasy!)

I have no clue what this is all about, nor do I have any clue when child dancrying will catch on in the States. (Though with the popularity of shows like Toddlers in Tiaras it shouldn't take too much longer!) All I do know is that in the case of "Willing Willie," there were certain indicators that they should have pulled the plug A LOT sooner that forcing a weeping kid to gyrate to Snoop:

"This isn't the show's first brush with infamy: in 2006, 74 people were killed in a stampede at a taping of "Willing Willie." But it's this little boy who may spell its end." (Jezebel)

Yikes! Let's hope game show stampeding doesn't catch on like crying dancing asian child syndrome!
