Egyptians put behind bars for shaking it ‘Harlem-style’ in their undies

Egyptian police said on Saturday that they had arrested four students who filmed themselves publicly dancing to the song “Harlem Shake” in their underwear, news agency AFP reported.

“Harlem Shake”, the latest dance craze has gripped the world, with everyone from children to adults sharing wacky videos of them doing the dance, on YouTube.

According to a police officer: “The four pharmaceutical students shocked residents of a middle class Cairo neighborhood when they removed most of their clothes and videotaped themselves performing the pelvis-thrusting dance.”

“The hostile audience tried to assault the students, who are accused of committing “a scandalous act,” the official added.

Egypt has strict public indecency laws.

They have problems with pelvis trusting? Wait till they see some old Elvis videos.
