Sh*t [Fill in Name Here] Say

0 comments
What's trending this week are videos about things that people say and don't say. It sounds alittle far fetched I know, but don't worry. These videos are super hot right now and seems to be spreading fast. A lot of people seem to be jumping on the opportunity and making these videos.

An example and my personal favourite, would be by IZZO productions, "Shit Guys Don't Say"

These videos usually contain 1-4 second clips of people speaking and saying things that you wouldn't normally hear or things that you hear too frequently. These videos also contain random shots of people speaking out in different locations and situations which also add to the comedy. Personally, I think these videos are getting over played and too many people are jumping on the bandwagon. I have just did a search on youtube and found atleast 10 or more of these similar videos. I give credits to the first and ORIGINAL poster of the video that started this revolution.

What proves that this has been a huge trend would be the fact that you type in "Sh*t" on Google search, Google recommends 3-4 different Sh*t my dad says and Sh*t girls say. What makes these videos so popular is the fact of how easy they are to create. All the person has to do,  is create a YouTube account and record them saying stupid or funny things, and who knows maybe it might attract over 100,000 viewers for it.

It's amazing that once a trend starts, it's funny and new to you, however, after a while.. it gets old and tends to be boring. A similar example would be listening to a good song on the radio and then after a couple weeks of the radio "over playing" that song, the "feeling" just isn't the same. My tip to all you YouTube-rs, stop making these videos! They're getting old. Thank you.

Stay posted for more.

Chicago boy beaten by 6 other kids

1 comments
What’s trending this week is a video that shows 6 high school kids beating on 1 Asian kid. This video has become an international hit with talks of donations being sent to the victim’s house.

The video was recorded by a female accomplice. She uploaded the video on YouTube the day of the attack. Although the camera operator is looked at as an "accomplice" People must know that without her help, nobody would have known about the attack at all.

Moments after the video had been posted comments were already being posted about the fight. It had spread like a virus and became an instant hit. It brought awareness to bullying and how it can have permanent effects on an individual. CBS Chicago News and NBC Chicago have spoken about the matter. Area 1 Police Headquarters in Chicago say they have 6 in custody and are looking for 2 more who were apart of the attack. The victim had been reported to be in the hospital recovering with just minor cuts and bruises.

Although the poor boy had gotten beaten up, I think that this was a good thing because it has brought bully awareness globally. My heart goes out to the victim’s family and I think that the boys are getting what they deserve. I will comment on this blog once I find out what caused the 6 boys to beat on the Asian boy.

Trending is interesting because it can vary from many things, just a few months back we were all talking about Rebecca Black and her “Friday” video. It goes to show how amazing information travels. Hope the boy makes it home safe and knows that he has people on his side.
