This video of a small South Asian child reciting the capitals of all fifty American states walks the fine line between creepy and really, really awesome. The head-on, dim greenish light, the heavy electrical wiring screen left, and the look on kid's face when they hit Kentucky all tend towards the former. The novel pronunciation (Texas? "As-THON!" Mississippi? "JACKH-son!") and the fact that everyone involved (kid, dad-cameraman, etc.) all seem to be mutually excited/obsessed with this, tend toward the latter.
Somehow, all of this reminds me of the time my brother and I went to see this Pearl Jam-cover band in Peru where the lead singer clearly and unabashedly did not speak English.
