Fried Butter Makes Boy Dance

Even Oprah Winfrey tried the deep-fat fried butter at the Texas State Fair in Dallas this week, but didn't break into dance like this boy.
She gave it two thumbs up -- not like the little boy who went all Bob Fosse at his first bite of what KXAS, the NBC affiliate in Dallas, called "cute little balls of gluttony."
A video of the dancing boy has gone viral on the Internet.
Just about everything is deep-fat fried at one point or another at the Texas State Fair, according to the station -- everything from Twinkies and Oreos to old cowboy boots. It's a Texas tradition.
However, Abel Gonzalez never realized he was creating a phenomenon at the fair when he skipped all those other ingredients and just fried butter.
"I never had a clue people were going to have this kind of reaction to it," he told KXAS. "I just thought, 'Fried butter?' Why not?' Never had a clue."
Consumers who were able to express their opinion through something other than interpretive dance testified that deep-fat fried butter tastes like toast.
The Texas State Fair runs through Sunday, Oct. 18, if you want to find out for yourself, and do your own butter dance.
Would you eat deep-fat fried butter or let your child do it?

Nick said...ummmmmmmmmmm...seriously??? A couple dancing kids hit it big on youtube, and next thing you know people are dedicating an article to a looping clip of some kid walking around clapping his hands?
I think these writers and editors are trying to milk this trend a bit too much.

9horses said...seriously, and about the looping-what's up with that? So stupid. I gave my little boy an organic pop tart from Trader Joe's the other day and he loves them so much that he takes a bite and runs around the house. Wouldn't ever compel me to film it and expect people to react to it like this b.s. fat...stupid...americans-I'm so embarrassed
