The original is also rather ridiculous!
What a strange video – there’s something delicate and childish about badminton’s movements that is incongruous with the hard-man image of these two, wearing the uniform of the 1990’s Russian street hustler/criminals. All in all one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in a while.
Good pick Crikey!
