Disturbing Friday Fun: The 9/11 Mime

Digg this!   

Disturbing Friday Fun, then: a weekly 'feature' in which we provide you with a link to a baffling, unsettling, odd or – as the title says – downright disturbing thing we've found on the interweb.

Look – we never said originality was in our remit. Okay?

Anyway. Settle down. This week we've got a treat for you. If felt that the sensitive, thought-provoking depiction of 9/11 in last year's United 93 would have worked better had the victims been wearing berets, gloves and comical facepaint, then – boy oh boy – this is the You Tube clip for you.

A social commentary on September 11th? Via the medium of mime? Phew – we wouldn't want to be a terrorist today!

That's right. Forget the old 'trapped in a box' routine, kids. What the artform really needs is a Chaplinesque re-enactment of the WTC collapse. With a soundtrack by Enya.

For once we are genuinely speechless.
