The Dean Scream - Fast-becoming an American Tradition?

In our podcast, Molly Peterson says Howard Dean's totally dreamy. But a lot of her countrymen have found him a little too screamy.

When you google Howard Dean the second link is to the scream, or should I say SCREAM. Why that scream brought him down I'll never understand, but in its aftermath an American legacy was born: the "Dean Scream" genre.

To watch the original scream, instead of going for the obvious choice - the ones with millions of hits and thousands of comments - I clicked on TheDeanScream2004's version. It had a mere 12,391 hits and 45 comments. But it's the only video TheDeanScream2004 has ever posted. Now that's dedication.

If you've got way too much time on your hands why not watch the scream backwards?

You can also check out a Dean Scream Contest, which took place at the Delaware State Fair.

This guy does a Mean Dean impersonation. Watch a clever Dean Scream animation here. And don't leave home without your Dean Scream bottle opener.

Finally, I'm awarding a "C-" in the Dean Scream to manbeefdotus, for his video of the Hillary Vs. Dean smack-down. The artistic merits of his video are far inferior to his competitors in terms of creativity, execution and imagination.

But keep the faith manbeefdotus, every burgeoning artistic movement is bound to suffer growing pains.
