Reggaeton [noun]: a form of primarily electronic music, popular amongst Latin American communities, that fuses elements of dancehall, reggae and hip-hop with more traditionally Latin American sounds. Reggaeton is characterised by its distinctive beat, known as ‘Dembow’, which is an amalgamation of reggae percussion with a suite of other West Indian influences. While reggaeton enjoys support throughout South America, the Carribean, and Hispanic communities in the US, Puerto Rico remains its putative home. Reggaeton is also noted for its endearingly colossal levels of misogyny.
Which is perhaps more background information than you actually need to appreciate the below music video.
I… I’m… not sure exactly how I feel about that.

i’m with luke on that one. i’m not sure how to feel about it. I had to watch the whole thing. I’m not convinced that it’s a real child. I blame the Japs.

Oh wow. I’d seen that video around but hadn’t watched it yet.
Yeahhhhhh, not sure how I feel about it. Part of me just wants to believe some drunk person working under Jim Cameron used that technology to create Avatar to create this abomination….just to see if it could be done!
