Not a visually stunning masterpiece, so it's extremely skippable. However.
There was this extremely outgoing gay kid in my high school. He was very into how scary the Blair Witch project was and did an awesome impression of the scene in The Cable Guy where Jim Carey fights Mathew Broderick at Medieval times and sings his own sound track to the fight while fighting. In front of a pep ralley of 3000 people, he did a solo dance that he himself had choreographed to Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'. The gymnasium howled with the sound of thousands of homophobic mid-westerners, but Tony had that intense, Flashdance look on his face and did the whole dance with bravado and poise and as the performance went on, slowly people stopped being assholes and by the end he got a giant cheer. It was kind of one of the most awesome things I had ever seen. (and yes, it's essentially the ending of Napoleon Dynamite, but that movie didn't even exist yet and this was real life with people I know). Anyway, that kid went on to literally star in the Broadway production of West Side Story and I like to pretend that this video is that kid's Michael Jackson Pep Rally Moment.
Although it's probably not, because the world has become a lot less homophobic in the last 10 years and he is probably just some random dude that likes dancing around a whole bunch.
