For a second, I thought this was the real performance. I haven't watched any of the Olympics, and from what I heard, this could very much have been the original.

It wasn't that much better, though.

Same here. Finally tried watching it and was so embarrassed for her I didn't make it 1/3 through. That shit should come with a trigger warning for those of us that hate seeing people humiliate themselves.

I kinda feel bad for Raygun

She went out and tried to do something, and nobody told her no until it got so far she ended up humiliated and harassed.

The committee that allowed her to go to the olympics fucked yup hard and deserves all the blame.

Hard to feel bad for someone who rigged the selection process for herself.

Idk man it takes some serious lack of self awareness for her to think she belonged at the Olympics. Has everyone just been kissing her ass her entire life?

Or, maybe she has absolutely no fucks to give, a giant set of balls, and took her chance to go to the Olympics and make fucking made sure that the entire world knows her name.

That kinda what happens when nobody has the spine to say no and things are judged by committee instead of by experts.

Maybe she's just terminally clueless?

The Internet became the breakdance committee after learning it was still a thing from a 1980s starter pack meme so don’t worry we’ll never hear the end of it

Another culture mocked into irrelevance

Ray Gun’s breaking career is so dead that they opened a Spirit Halloween inside of it.

Ray gun-ned down and is hence now a skeleton

She really did dance like she had a stick up the butt.
