    I’m sympathetic, because if I embarrassed myself that bad I’d also want it to go away. But this ain’t gonna make it go away lmao

      Yeah, she’s kinda Streisand-ing herself… And if she takes it to court, she might Lehrmann herself…

      I only heard about it when I opened Reddit and half my front page was mocking her

      Trying to copyright a kangaroo hop is going to be funny. I’m pretty sure we did that in PE in prep or grade 1. Not to mention, y’know, the fact there’s 30-80 million (depending on whose guess you trust) animals out there doing it every day

        I meant I missed the analysis published on The Conversation that I linked. I heard about the shutting down of the musical and saw the news about Gunn’s latest insta post. Her response seems kinda ‘How do you do, fellow kids’ and at first I thought it was hilarious in a ‘gift that keeps on giving’ kind of way but then I realised it’s just sad.

      I know you’ve deleted this, but if you’re still wondering, the answer is she can’t. But ego and money often makes people ready to try stupid things

      There are many better break dancers in Australia but her and her partner lied and manipulated to get into the the Olympics and made a complete joke about what should be been a serious event.

        Literally a national embarrassment then follows up with lawsuit over a parody show. I cannot wait to stop hearing about this woman.

        That was a completely false rumor that spread like wildfire because people like you will believe anything they read.

          I know absolutely nothing about breakdancing, but I do know that the clips I saw from the Olympics were embarrassing and shameful for any team. I don’t know why she was there, but it was clear she shouldn’t have been.

          At least Eddie the Eagle displayed courage and dedication, even though he locked ability.

          Now if you told me that she was doing it as a protest to vividly demonstrate the corruption and lack of values of the Olympic system, I could go along with that.

            When it’s the first event for anything, you’re not going to get the best. That’s just the fact of the matter. Some are going to sit out, some aren’t going to hear about it at all, some just won’t want to participate because it’s the IOC. And sometimes athletes just have a bad day. As plenty of actual breakers have pointed out, she’s not that bad, she was having a bad day. It’s pretty clear that memes are doing overtime on spreading misinformation this year.
