I've been writing about the zombie consumer death urge on Cryptogon recently. I don't know how I came up with that. I was just trying to think about a simple way of summing up the general mentality out there. It's not a very profound or original concept. The more interesting question for me is: Why not? Why did that meme suddenly stick in my consciousness?

In my opinion, this duo is quite fun, I think that's because it is certainly not typical to see two older people dancing, for example. I think what makes them so famous and people like both, is the difference, that are unusual. They are a funny duo, funny, that entertain people, something fresh, new. This is new for the ordinary people, an example for society teaches that it is possible to do humor, making people laugh, regardless of age you have. Sounds like a case of a dynamic duo, funny.
