When the world needed a good meme, Raygun delivered in spades.

If you haven’t watched the olympic break dancing competition, do yourself a favor and check it out. The woman competing for Australia might be the best thing I’ve seen so far.

        I don’t think it’s a bad day situation, that would be if she made mistakes. The moves were clearly deliberate.

        I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best, the dynamic and the power moves, so I wanted to move differently, be artistic and creative because how many chances do you get in a lifetime to do that on an international stage?

        I was always the underdog and wanted to make my mark in a different way.

        And y’know what, if it doesn’t negatively impact her career from here, power to her. It was memorable and entertaining, even if it was at her own expense. As long as her opponents didn’t feel disrespected (I don’t know enough about the breaking culture to say), I think it was worthwhile. Wouldn’t most of us say we benefitted from watching it?
