From the 3D-animated “Dancing Baby” of the late ‘90s, to the various viral renditions of the “Harlem Shake” back in 2013, internet users will share a good dance until it becomes a full-on meme. And now we may have a new sensation on our hands, though far more surreal and absurd in its dark humor.Titled antonyms for prejudice., this new 3D animation features a cop provocatively bellydancing amidst a rainfall of donuts to the deeply unsettling slow ballad version of “She’s a Maniac," by Michael Sambello. The video’s description simply reads, “donut mess with a cop”; made all the more funny because police officers probably steer clear of donuts these days due to the social stigma that they consume the sugary treats in vast quantities.

You know, the type of love that the fuzz show to their breakfast pastries, and to each other.Watch antonyms for prejudice. below:
