The perils of karaoke

The Guys at Animoto (well, one guy anyway) discover a new kind of hurt. The karaoke kind. And I thought that sort of stuff only happened at X.O.

And while we're on the subject, have you ever wondered about the origins of karaoke? According to the ever reliable Wikipedia, the first karaoke machine was invented by Japanese musician Daisuke Inoue in Kobe, Japan, in the early 1970s. After becoming popular in Japan, karaoke spread to East and Southeast Asia during the 1980s and subsequently to other parts of the world in its modern state.

And looking to the future, will Korea Town ever evolve enough to provide us with these sort of karoke palaces?
