freaky subculture no more!

Check out the card I've seen for sale in more than one major retail chain:

1. The Irish dancer pictured does not have red hair.
2. The Irish dancer pictured is not holding a beer, nor is she visibly drunk.
3. The Irish dancer pictured is not a leprechaun.

and here's the kicker:
4. It's not a St. Patrick's day card!? The inside says, "You're gonna be Vice President, so work on your moves." Typically, Irish people figure into pop culture -- during the month of March only -- as cheerful, drunk, green-wearing, happy-go-lucky chatter-boxes. And frankly, I don't know that the general public is quite ready for the world of contemporary Irish dance to be unleashed into it like this. Trust me, it's kinda weird. (Weird, but AWESOME.) I mean, exhibits A and B:



And just as a side-note from this forever-member of the cult of Irish dance: that girl should work on her posture. But she's got nice poods.
