Video that shows girls in bikinis twerking on a Detroit firetruck has caused a stir on the internet, but some say it's not what it seems.
It probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Detroit firefighters stopped their firetruck at a car wash to support a locally owned business. The Jet Spa and Ultra Wash on Second and Clairmount avenues is a vehicle detail shop with a grill next door. The owners said they were having a grand opening celebration complete with food, music and girls washing cars in bikinis.
Workers said they wanted to show off their new power washer. "The Fire Department was driving by and they didn't believe this little machine, even though it's powerful, could wash the truck," Jie Hemphill II said. "So we wanted to demonstrate that we are the real deal in the city."
As innocent as it may have been intended to be, video shows three girls in bikinis twerking on the back of a Detroit fire truck with what appears to be a man wearing a Detroit firefighter shirt putting dollar bills in the women's swimsuits.
