So Rockit still kicks it, 20 years later. Except this is not the African Bambatta remix, which is way better.

You guys are prudes. Plushenko is like the Russian Jack Nicholson, he can drink and beer and take his clothes off anytime he wants.

CC, it's figure skating, not ice dancing for pete's skate. There are standards. I still have, somewhere on VHS, a great Julius Erving highlight film set to Kenny Rogers' "Through the Years".

Adam, I had high hopes for Stephanie before I clicked the link -- I was thinking strip tease, maybe a little triple Axel lap dance... I was bound to be disappointed. On the upside, "Rockit" always reminds of the NBA highlight video I got with my SI subscription in the late 80s/early 90s -- I think it was (H)Akeem's song. Barkley highlights were set to "The Warrior;" MJ was "Take My Breath Away."

Want to see something cooler? Stephanie Rosenthal. She's the next thing in skating, I hope. Am I the only one who clicked on this and ended up watching the ticker to see if my team won? Oh, and hi Major. How's the OC?

Argh . . . only two months after we had it on ALOTT5MA. Don't diss our Plushy! Want to see something cooler? Stephanie Rosenthal. She's the next thing in skating, I hope.

The part where he combs his hair is kinda gay. Oh, and the part where he makes love to one of the dudes in the crowd. I didn't finish the whole thing, but that has to happen, right?

WAIT!! Are those his REAL muscles? -and- Are the pelvic thrusts included in the ordinals? -and- I never thought it would be possible for a hetero man to make Rudy Galindo look like a Bear. -and- Will, the video had the opposite effect on me. I am now 15% LESS gay.

It's a good thing George Michael didn't let him use the cut-offs as well.

His wife and Star Jones Reynolds should go shopping together (perhaps with Johnny Weir?) and discuss their super manly husbands.

That is, hands down, the scariest thing I have ever seen. Just when I thought it could not get any worse, he took off his pants and turned in to Rocky (Horror Picture Show, not the boxer).
