I, Cheerleader

Am I the only person who -- after watching the ubiquitous video of injured Southern Illinois cheerleader Kristi Yamaoka continuing her rhythmic arm movements to the school's fight song while being carried off on a stretcher -- had the following thought: "whoa...Stepford Cheerleaders!"?

I commend the lass for her spunk in spite of a chipped circuit boa...er, vertebra, and hope she gets back on her bipedal platfor...um, feet very soon.

According to Kristi, in an interview I heard today, hearing her school's fight song just inspired her to keep on going [despite the possibility of becoming a quadrapalegic, I guess]. She's got spirit, yes she does! I hadn't thought about it, but "Stepford Cheerleader" does seems to fit. Sheesh! ;-)

She's a graduate of the Charlize Theron School of Gymnastics.

The video made the "Colbert Report" on comedy central yesterday. Just plain weird.
