Embarrassing dad at EDM Festival

We saw this video earlier in the week and decided not to post it.  Now everyones kind of talking about it as its gone viral. We feel the need to clear the air.  Is this really an embarrassing dad?  what would you say on a scale from 1-5, 5 being the worst?

We'd say this dad is maybe a 3.  Dude just hanging out getting his PLUR on.  Why all the hate?  I guarantee you will see at least 25 people doing a lot weirder things this weekend at electric zoo festival.  Is it because this guy has a funny euro look complete with mustache and creepy high socks?  His son doesn't seem to mind, especially at the 0:18 mark when he goes in for the nose pick.

TWO PEAS IN A POD...plain and simple

Maya Jane Coles Set to Wow Electric Zoo

(VillageVoice.com) When West London house producer and DJ Maya Jane Coles plays Electric Zoo this Saturday, she'll have something of an uphill climb ahead of her. The young U.S. EDM audience isn't the most patient of crowds, growing sullen when DJs don't deliver bass drops like clockwork. Colesmakes dubstep-derived music as Nocturnal Sunshine, but she's better known for the subtle but incrementally powerful deep house she makes and plays under her given name, and that's what she'll be presenting this weekend.

Considering how blatant the EDM-festival audience likes its hooks—as shown earlier this year when veteran house DJs Mark Farina andDennis Ferrer were replaced during gigs in Las Vegas and Miami, respectively, for not playing music that was "commercial enough"—Coles might have legitimate reason for worry. Electric Zoo, she says, is the largest setting she has played. But the numbers don't faze her.

"I don't particularly tailor stuff," says Coles over the phone from her London home. "I would not play something that I personally don't like just to fit an audience. I never like to calculate things beforehand. The key thing for me is to find stuff that...
