SUBCULTURE ALERT: BALLOON TWISTING

I found this last night trawling the internet and I thought it needed exposing to a wider audience. It seems a new popular subculture is forming based around the art of balloon twisting (a la balloon animals) but this is just out of control.

As an introduction to this strange phenomenon check out this hit song "Sneaky 'n' Sleazy" by Unpopable. The bass line is played entirely on a "Balloon Bass" which is pretty entertaining. Don't miss all the crazy creations in the background either.

Now I'm sure your all wondering how exactly you can play along with him the next time you watch the video so here's a 5 minute tutorial on how you can join the party.

How to make a balloon bass:



It turns out the guy in the "Sneaky and Sleazy" videos name is Addi and he takes this VERY seriously. He has a youtube channel HERE devoted to it called Addis Inflatable Minute which carries the tagline: Explorations into the beauty of all things Inflatable, and sometimes even Twistable. He also a website of his creations HERE

But I believe this next clip demonstrates just how serious this pastime is for Addi. The Balloon twister as Philosopher/Role Model:



By now I was pretty confused but it looked like good clean fun so what ever you are into I guess. But then things started getting creepy. It seems this guy had found a way to turn his balloon skills into picking up girls, which I had never imagined possible.



Huh??? If that wasn't strange enough, he seems to have turned it into an illustrious career too. With perks.

And as this cross over starts happening more and more the creepiness continues.
A word of warning this next one is just plain bizarre and possibly offensive if your not very open minded. Actually its probably offensive anyway.

You have been warned.
