that was soooo cute. that hippo can danse... Man... if i could dance that well, maybe i guys'd be more interested in me eh?

What does at that writing at the bottom mean? is this an advertisement for something?? It's really really funny.
 
It is Norwegian, and it says:

Please wait for this to load! :)
You should have your audio on, inorder to enjoy this fully.

Not really romantic, is it? Things always look better in a foreign language :wink:
 
No, it isn't an advertisement. I just find these stupid things in other forums.

And, Gale, don't worry about dancing well, you already have a fan :wink:
