that may be the funniest thing I've seen in quite awhile. so many thoughts:

1. are those really the most important phrases? what does that tell us about their perception of us?

2. are they really so short on time that they must make it an aerobics video, too?

3. what was that thing on that guy's head?!

4. what if you are only attacked by one girl? wow, not prepared for that.

5. what's with the closeups on the shoulders?

6. do you think the girls knew what they were saying? I don't think they did. that doesn't make sense in any language.

1. YES! How would you like to be in a foreign country, and get robbed by two men, and not know what to say??

2. The aerobics are to get you in shape so you'll be able to put up a fight whilst getting robbed.

3. It was clearly his mask of intimidation, the effect is heightened when you strap it under your nose like that.

4. C'mon, girls don't attack people, much less by themselves...

5. That I am unsure of.

6. Definitely not. They just knew they got a check when the filming rapped.
