Ben Kingsley Is Just A Minor Threat "WTF" was invented for moments like watching the Oscar-winning Gandhi actor get into the zone and make like Ian MacKaye in front of a simulated salad days D.C. hardcore audience for a lipsynced rendition of Minor Threat's classic fight song: Look here and laugh. No idea how this came about because we don't want to know -- good enough that it exists.

I think I saw photos of this in the new issue of Mean. (It could've been Filter, but I think it was Mean.)

LMFAO! Gayest fist pump ever. I like at the 1:30 mark he even does the Hulk Hogan "I can't hear you" Hulkamania ear-cup.

Check out Another State of Mind-- I think BK copped some authentic MacKaye moves.

I love Ben Kingsley and Ian MacKaye, but this is just fucking bizarre. Is Kingsley an actual fan of Ian and Minor Threat?
