Call Sheet: Pants-Off Dance-Off

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire is such a fun spectator sport. Thanks to one of our operatives, The Operator has learned of a show on the music channel Fuse called Pants-Off Dance-Off. The premise, as you may have guessed, is that contestants compete by gyrating like diseased animals on firedancing around and slowly stripping while music video are projected in the background. This show is democracy in action, as half the contestants are young hoochies and the other half seem to be weird middle-aged men with no sense of shame. This is the least sexy show ever; it's strictly man boobs and muffin tops. Imagine the auditions for Jumbo's Clown Room or dosing your crazy relatives with ecstasy at a wedding reception; Those frightening scenarios barely comes close to the car crash spectacle of P-O D-O.

Now, when OperatorNYC was in college, many of his friends partook in amateur strip contests. But that was because we had to pay our rent and buy drugs. We didn't do it for the attention and accolades. Nay. We were simply trying to survive. We had integrity.

Watch the show at your own risk and see why video is killing the strip club star.
