Musings of a Young Pastor

A smile on my face!

Ever hear of David Bernal? He's a dancer whose style... well, it just needs to be seen. (David's the third dancer in the video - wait for it. It's worth it.) David, who performs under the name Elsewhere, saw his brief appearance at a Korean-American talent show become part of the booming Internet viral video phenomenon. Thanks to some anonymous person who uploaded Elsewhere's video, and millions of others who have downloaded it, e-mailed it, and forced their friends to watch it, Elsewhere has found himself dancing for everyone from Steve Harvey to Jay Leno.

Along with the PR has come the inevitable commercial work, as Madison Ave. does its best to cash in on Elsewhere's Internet fame. Sometimes this works, and often it fizzles. In this case, the dancer's got the moves to pull it off.

And for that, I'm grateful. Just take a look at this spot for Volkswagen's Golf GTI, featuring Elsewhere, two other dancers, and one of the best cinematic moments of all time...
