Surely Oscar Pistorius can't be the first man to wake up legless on Valentines Day and shoot all over his girlfriends face while imagining she was someone else?

The fucking 'Harlem Shake'.

Everywhere now, who hasn't seen it? I admit, I liked the idea of the video, it was funny. What's annoying is that it's now 'viral' and I hate seeing every Tom, Dick and Harry do their own versions and act like sheep to try and get their 15 minutes of fame.
Now everyone is trying to ride the coat tails of it and I have seen THAT many versions in a matter of a few weeks.

The whole concept is stupid, but entertaining and I did enjoy it. Everyone trying to get their 15 minutes of fame is what is fucking everything up, but anyways, lol.

Stupid Aussies

Quote:A group of Australian teenagers have sparked a Gangnam Style-like viral dance craze called the Harlem Shake, with their pelvis-thrusting moves inspiring tens of thousands of internet copycat clips around the world.

The viral craze looks set to make the man behind the song, Brooklyn DJ Baauer, very rich. It has driven his Harlem Shake track to the the top of the iTunes charts around the world, including number one in Australia, the United States, Canada and New Zealand.

The fivesome, from Australia's Sunshine Coast, have shot to fame with their 31-second clip "The Harlem Shake v1 (TSCS original)", which has been viewed more than 12 million times since being uploaded to YouTube on February 2.
Viral ... the Harlem Shake.

The video-sharing site said the clip by TheSunnyCoastSkate ? which the five Australian skateboarding aficionados shot on a rainy day ? has led to an explosion of spin-offs.

"As of Valentine's Day the number of 'Harlem Shake' videos has increased to around 40,000 ? based on video title ? and those videos now have 175 million views," YouTube said on its Australian trends blog.

The pelvis-thrusting clip start with a helmeted man dancing unnoticed in a room full of people to a song called Harlem Shake by the up-and-coming Brooklyn DJ Baauer. A few seconds later, a number of people break into a wild dance, shaking and twisting, as the bass kicks in.

The concept originated with a video blogger named Filthy Frank, but it appears to be the Australian version that sent the meme viral.

"We didn't start the dance ... but we put our own input into it which is why I think it went viral," TheSunnyCoastSkate said on their Facebook page.

Thousands of Harlem Shake clips are being uploaded every day, according to YouTube, with workplaces, locker-rooms, groups of soldiers, train carriages and bus-stops full of people swept up in the craze.

Most of the videos feature people in bizarre costumes and various states of undress, progressing from a single masked dancer ignored by the others to a writhing mass of bodies.

TheSunnyCoastSkate boys said they had been astonished by the clip's popularity.

"I think it's pretty crazy, I didn't think anyone would care at all," 15-year-old high school student Corey Walsh, who appears in the video, told the Courier Mail.

"Some of the groups like the US army doing it, it's pretty crazy the way it's taken off."

Walsh said he believed the "Harlem Shake" could eclipse Gangnam Style ? South Korean rapper Psy's 2012 online video hit which has been viewed by more than 1.3 billion people ? if it continued to spiral at such a rate.

Walsh's father said the teens hadn't realised what they had created.

"They got bored, and the rest is history," he said.

Miss Delaware Teen USA resigns, after porn video of her surfaces.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/natio...s/1949833/

Quote: Melissa King gives back her crown after a porn site posts video, apparently made last summer, that it claims is of her.

WILMINGTON, Del. ? Melissa King, Miss Delaware Teen USA, resigned her crown on Tuesday after facing questions about an online sex video that claims to star her.

"I would like to confirm to you that the Miss Delaware Teen USA pageant has received a resignation letter from Miss King's attorney," pageant spokeswoman Dara Busch wrote in an e-mail this morning.

A porn website posted a sex video Monday featuring a woman who looks and sounds like King. The site claims it is the teen pageant winner. King, contacted Monday, said she was aware of it but denied it was her.

"Absolutely not," she said. "It is not."

Of the porn site's claim, she said, "There are comments saying this; however, it's not comments that are true."

King, 18, who was crowned Miss Delaware Teen USA last year, declined to provide her lawyer's name Monday. However, pageant officials identified him as J. Gregory Hannigan of Hagerstown, Md. He did not immediately return messages.

An email sent Monday night seeking comment from the website that distributed the video was not answered.

Busch, who is executive vice president and managing director with Rubenstein Public Relations, said the runner-up will take King's position.

According to the Miss Delaware Teen USA website, Hailey Lawler of the Newark, Del., area is the runner-up. She could not be reached for comment.

Miss Delaware Teen USA is run by the New York-based Miss Universe Organization. This is not the first time issues have arisen with the organization involving a Delaware contestant. In 2005, Sheena Benton was allowed to remain Miss Delaware USA and compete in the nationally televised pageant after it was learned she had pleaded guilty for drunken driving in 2004.

And this is certainly not the first time there has been a sex scandal involving a pageant contestant. In 1984, Vanessa Williams gave up her Miss America title after nude photos of her surfaced. The Miss America pageant is not associated with the Miss Universe Organization.

The video, a recording running just over 5 minutes, starts with an interview on what appears to be a hotel bed. The woman does not give her name. But when the man, who is not shown or identified, interviewing her asks when she turned 18, she says "about three months ago. March."

King is 18 now, and her birthday is in March, according to the Miss Delaware Teen USA website.

The interviewer then asks her what made her want to do her first adult video.

"I thought it'd be fun, and it sounded like I needed the money," the woman says. "So I just decided to do it."

The interviewer asks more questions, including if she has a boyfriend, when was the last time she had sex and how old she was the first time she had sex. The woman laughs a little as she answers.

That portion of the interview fades into another set of questions where the interviewer asks her about being a "Miss. A Miss Teen?"

When the woman acts reluctant to talk about it, he says "I'm not going to say the state or anything. ... You did beauty pageants?"

"I've done them, yes," she responds.

While King won the Miss Delaware Teen USA title in November, at the time this video was shot ? this past summer ? she was the reigning Miss Teen Delaware International 2012.

The interviewer then asks her if she has told anyone about doing the video, to which the woman replies: "It's not a big secret. But I didn't tell anybody specifically what I was doing."

Following the interview, the woman and a man, whose face is never seen, perform several different sex acts.

Quote:Meet The Lion Whisperer, the animal behaviourist reinventing zoology



A SOUTH AFRICAN zoologist has pulled off the ultimate home relocation, moving 27 adult lions from one game reserve to another in a Mercedes Sprinter van.

Remarkably, a few months after their arrival at the park north of Pretoria, all lions are happily settled and the only member of the troop struggling with migration trauma is the family dog.

Styling himself as "The Lion Whisperer", zoologist Kevin Richardson has pioneered a new way of interacting with Africa’s apex predator that almost defies belief.
The Lion Whisperer

After rearing his lions by hand he is accepted as a part-time member of the pride, and without fear of injury, rolls around with them, being licked and nuzzled as if he were one of the pack.

Sustaining only minor injuries in 15 years working with lions, he locks lips, puts his hand in their mouths and has even slept with his ferocious big cats without injury. How does he do it?
Kevin Richardson

"Despite conceptions, lions are not mindless man eaters," says Richardson, as he relaxes in the midday shade at his Dinokeng game reserve, north of Pretoria.

"They’re actually very tolerant of people if you respect them. I’ve developed very intimate relationships with my lions over fifteen and a half years, and it’s based on mutual respect."

Redefining notions of how lions are best mastered, Richardson, 38, who is married with a small child and another on the way, breaks every animal safety rule in the book.

Rather than trying to crush the animals’ spirits with sticks and beatings, the zoologist develops personal bonds with each creature.

He claims to know his lions intimately, understanding what makes them happy and sad, and thus knowing when to give them a wide berth if they’re having a bad hair day.

Inspired by George and Joy Adamson, the Kenyan game wardens who raised a lion cub named Elsa in the 1950s, Richardson says the "treat them mean" school of dominating lions didn’t hold water.

"I discovered that all lions have an ability to show affection."

"Like human parenting, the best way to develop a bond is to start when they’re young. I met Tau and Napoleon when they were six month old, and we have developed a really close relationship."

"Now they’re old men turning sixteen in June. In the wild they would be dead already, battle-scarred and ousted by younger males, destined to roam the plains alone."

"It all resolves around respect, a lot of people can bully a lion when it’s a cub, then when it gets to two or three it gives a bit back, and a lot of people fall by the wayside."

"A lion is not a possession; it’s a sentient being, so you must pay attention and developing your bond like with any relationship.

"Over 15 years I’ve learned how lions grow together, and now they really accept me."

But surely he’s scared?

"Fear doesn’t come in to it," Richardson says.

"It goes against the grain for most people who believe lions are killing machines.

“Do you ever fear that your dog will attack you? It never enters your mind, so you’re relaxed. If you walked in scared your dog would pick up on it. You feed off each other, pardon the pun!"

Does he ever worry his lions will turn on him? Ruminating on the fate that befell Californian Timothy Treadwell, who was eaten by grizzly bears in Alaska after spending many summers with them,

Richardson says anyone trying to engage with completely wild animals is crazy.

"Treadwell was seeking something he couldn’t find in people and started to believe he was a bear."

As for Siegfried (Las Vegas performer attacked by tiger) every night their animals had to perform in front of a large audience."

"How would you feel like doing that every day?"

"Eventually a tiger is going to have a bad day - you just have to know how to recognise when an animal is unhappy, and leave it well alone."

Growing up surrounded by nature, as a boy Richardson kept crickets under his bed and had a pet toad.

As a teenager he was dubbed "The Bird Man of Orange Grove" for his love of South Africa’s many birds.

After studying zoology at university he began a career in physiotherapy.

By chance he treated businessman Rodney Fuhr, who owned a lion park near Johannesburg and invited Richardson to care for two six month old cubs Tau and Napoleon. And so the love affair began.
