Raw Video: Romanians Wear Bear Furs for New Year's

As part of an old traditional ritual performed at the end of each year, Romanians perform a bear dance. They take to the streets wearing bear furs while dancing and singing. It's thought to ward off evil. (Dec. 31)

Awesome. If I ever go to Romania, I am totally doing this. I'll bust out the robot in my bearskin, then maybe the MC Hammer shuffle, the running man and finally the worm.

The only thing I don't understand is that everyone looks bored or depressed. This looks like a drinking game. It should be fun!

Reminds me of "Super Troopers" movie when the guy was pretending to hump a bear in the woods. I would probably try it and get arrested.

...and if this were Brazil, there would be titties!

@mamanmatty hey you fucking jerk! having some special traditions makes us backwards? is Brazil Backwards for the Rio festival? is China primitive for it's Chinese new Years? Is Azerbaijan backwards for celebrating Novruz?

that's backwards; to look at another culture and call it backwards for a few quirky differences is what is truly backwards; was your family trying to re-create the Victorian era when educating you? PISS OFF!

@fevertotell00 te-ai tacanit la cap inseamna

[bbphnix]

@mamanmatty why? how the hell is it primitive? there are underdeveloped places, the country as a whole is at the bottom the EU in terms of GDP per capita; but that doesn't mean primitive;

respecting ancient traditions like this DEFINITELY isn't a form of primitivism; it's a tradition;

[bbphnix]

aaah..... good ol' romanian traditions.....

@mamanmatty If this was a film about an indian custom from america (which exists), you would have said wow, that's so lovely!

Let us not forget, that a people who forgets it's heritage will disappear. And that's an old indian saying.

If this was a film about an indian custom from america (which exists), all the brittish people would have said wow, that's so lovely!

@bussinessisgood Asa ca aici se aplica vorba aia: "cainii latra, ursul trece".

I am too lazy to translate all of the abovein english, for all the haters and small minded jerks, but mostly is sais "fuck off"...

[bussinessisgood]

Ma, oameni buni, nu va mai puneti mintea cu prostii, ca n-or sa inteleaga in vecii vecilor despre ce e vorba.Ei n-au vazut in viata lor asa ceva si nu stiu cum sa reactioneze, asa ca apeleaza la chestii de genul "needucatilor","tiganilor", "PETA", etc, pentru ca au capul infipt in cur si nu pot cuprinde cu mintea ce inseamna o traditie romaneasca.Daca erau gagigi in pizda goala, ca la carnavalul din Rio, ar fi sustinut toti ca suntem civilizati si stim sa ne distram.

[bunicarica]

first of all that is just a tradition was a show i know im romanian

second romanian girls are ten times better then UK girls(they are a kind of fat)

third i must say that some villages are primitive but the very old one

for example Chisinau is an old village with old ppl thats an primitive village but we have city's like Bacau or Brasov or Constanta wher you can have all the fun and all what you whant
