"Chop, chop, chop" original or knock off from Aliens?

Most of you have probably seen one of my favorite movies... Aliens.

One of the coolest scenes in the show happens early on, where the Android, Bishop, does the knife stabbing thing with Bill Paxton's character's hand underneath.

Today, one of the news sites I pay attention to, sometimes, posted that kids are starting to do it to a song titled, "Chop, chop, chop"... The guy who wrote the article was worried about "copy-cat" kids/teens/dumb asses, doing this and hurting themselves, based on this song.

Here's the original chop, chop, chop video.

So, after watching the original, here's a cute girl doing the same thing.

I guess my point to any of the "News" outlets... WTF do you care if kids copy things that they see others do?

Seriously, when most of the "Newscasters" were kids, they watched things like "The Little Rascals" or "The Three Stooges" and there were some very painful stunts performed on those shows.

Unless of course those same "News" people are closer to my age or younger, then they'd have watched things like Jackass & what not.

 If kids are going to do stupid things, the "Web" or "YouTube" isn't the only place to get the ideas.  The original "Chop, chop, chop" guy probably got the idea from Aliens (1986).

Hell, many of the things that I wound up learning how to do I got from movies, cartoons (Looney Toons / Tom & Jerry [AKA Itchy & Scratchy to the new generation]), and television shows.  Most of these were either rated G or PG.

So, what does it mean? "Media" & "News" people, get a frickin life!  If you're worried about your kid, then talk to your kid!

If you want to be a nanny, then get your apron on, and stand in front of the school(s) and warn all the kids, who may or may not have any God given common sense to not do stupid things!
