Dear Motorola, Dancing With Strangers Is Not Normal

dance_off.jpg

There’s a problem with this new video campaign for Motorola’s S9 wireless headphones which captures the fictional dance crew, Wirebreakers, challenging members of the public to dance offs in random locations such as a putting range, art gallery, public library and a squash court. Most people, when confronted by a strange person appearing suddenly in front of then with arms flailing and legs wiggling , will either beat the crap out of the approachee, stare or run for fear of their lives. The last thing they’ll do, as portrayed in the first video of the campaign, is to actually begin dancing with the approachee as if they were long time acquaintances.

The campaign will consist of eight videos in total, released over the course of the summer. Be warned. A strange dude may approach you at any time and challenge you to a dance off.
