Congratulations, Fanny Pak!

Amid all the arguing with my co-workers and IM buddies about whether this year's controversial MTV Video Music Awards host Russell Brand was funny last  night (um, YES, he was), I failed to congratulate my favorite America's Best Dance Crew team, Fanny Pak, on their recent and long-overdue win.

The Pak went head-to-head in a "VMAs Challenge" dance-off with season 1 crew Kaba Modern at last night's VMA pre-show on the Paramount Studios lot, and they brought the "Damaged" goods indeed.

Viewers wisely voted for Fanny Pak, and avenged the underdog crew's unjust upset on ABCD2. So without further ado, here's the VMA performance that finally brought Fanny Pak the thrill of victory (and the chance to accept an award live on-air from Lindsay Lohan):
