Eagle tries to snatch Kid...video goes Viral

When animals attack: birds of prey edition. This video of a golden eagle's failed attempt to carry off a small child at Mont Royal in Montreal, Canada, is certainly gobsmacking. The eagle appears to drop the kid from mid-air shortly after swooping, and the child seems upset but hopefully OK after the ordeal. That is, if any of this really happened. Some commenters are crying "fake," but the "footage" makes for dramatic viewing nonetheless — especially with the "Chariots of Fire" theme blaring over the slo-mo replay.

A five year-olds rap video goes viral

No kindergartner would ever think to make a rap song about Alex Smith. This rap video featuring a "tattooed" 5-year-old rapping a song about the Niners young star and also features drawn-on ink, name drops of David Akers and West Coast gang signs. I'd say "watch it now," but I'm sure I had you at "name drops of David Akers

Six Decades Of Love: Viral Photo Shows Lasting Romance Between James And Lauretta Burke (PHOTO)

Two powerful images. One standout example of love.

Less than 24 hours after the photos -- a couple's tender moments at a hospital juxtaposed against their wedding day -- appeared on Reddit, more than one million people had viewed them.

Touching details tell a story that the original poster says is "almost like 'The Notebook'" -- a popular book-turned-film synonymous with love untarnished by age or disease.

Safeway Bakery Bans Photos to Keep Its Cakes From Being Mocked Online

The Internet often has a mind of its own when it comes to viral photos, the spread of which is virtually impossible to stop. Safeway, the second largest supermarket chain in North America, found this truth out recently after photos of badly designed cakes made their way online. The company is doing its best to quell the mockery, though: apparently at least one local Safeway bakery has gone so far as to ban photos entirely.

Cake Wrecks is a website dedicated to photos of professional cakes that have gone horribly wrong. It recently received an email from a reader named Dara, who writes,

"My local [name censored] bakery has this new policy – not strictly enforced, but kinda enforced — NO PHOTOS in the bakery department. None, nada. Per an ex-employee there, upper management is afraid that one of that store’s specific cakes will be posted on ‘that bad cake site.’ Per what they tell you in the store, their cakes are ‘all copyright protected.’ [...] Apparently this new ‘no photos’ thing came about after y’all had posted their ‘Popcorn’ cakes on the site."

Dara is referring to a series of photos showing “Popcorn” cakes that look more like they’re filled with gobs of goo. If Dara’s account is accurate, it’s interesting that a store is citing copyright law to prevent its baked goods from being photographed (and subsequently ridiculed).

"I think this is really funny...  don't you?!?"

Viral Photo Of bodybuilder Who forgot to Tan his Face too.

 Hey buddy, it looks like you missed a spot during your fake tan — as in, your entire head
A competitor in the Arnold Classic Europe bodybuilding competition did a great job when he applied his fake tan – from the neck down.
His head literally paled in comparison to his super-bronzed body as he flexed his muscles for the judges.The funny error has been pointed out by news media (and, of course, merciless tweeters) today as this photo of a bodybuilder's bronzing oversight went viral. The guy was reportedly competing at the three-day Arnold Classic Europe bodybuilding event .The three-day fitness festival is named after bodybuilding legend and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who also hosted the event.

 Well,as far as we can tell, he was too focused on his performance to think about his tan. Or maybe he was too caught up in gazing at his enormous pecs. In any case, we feel a little for the guy.  
Here are some more photos from the event. Enjoy!

"Charlie bit me!" in the news again!

Remember the ‘Charlie bit my finger – Again‘ viral video? The one where a kid (Harry) sits with a baby on his knee who proceeds to bite Harry’s finger and giggle at the resulting wails? Yep, that’s set to become a series.
Viral Spiral, the management company for viral content and Rightster, the video monetisation and distribution specialist have teamed up to produce an original series based on the antics of the two boys.
‘Rightster has made a strategic investment in Viral Spiral to create Viral Studios. The new arm of the company will co-produce and finance new digital content based on one of YouTube’s most viewed viral videos. Rightster will also offer sponsorship avenues around orignal content and drive YouTube syndication for additional marketing.

Family video to global syndication

‘Charlie bit my finger – Again’ was posted in 2007  and has been seen almost half a billion times. Quite how this one scene will translate into a series is unknown, but if the kids are as amusing enough to drive similar viewing figures in the rest of their activities, it’s possible that the definition of ‘child star’ might have to be rewritten.

Last year it was estimated that the family made more than £100,000 via the 57 second video. As memes tend to, the video also sparked its own blog where people can keep up with the boys adventures and even T-shirts and apps for Android and iOS. Not bad work for a video uploaded to YouTube because email would not cope with the file size.
Damian Collier, Founder and CEO of Viral Spiral commented: “We’re delighted to announce this strategic partnership with Rightster which will allow Viral Spiral to build on its expertise in developing value around hit viral properties. Today we’re at an inflection point where online content truly is king and has the ability to shape the future of the entertainment industry.”

Indeed from original viral content to the professionally created programming made by big players, finding traction online is becoming more and more important as viewers choose on-demand options and assorted content providers over traditional television scheduling.
Just this morning, BBC Worldwide announced an expansion of its partnership with YouTube to provide content for viewers in the United States and Canada. It seems that the money is clearly going to be found via advertising, marketing and presentation on the Internet.
“We’re excited to be playing such a key role in the development of original content and programming at this pivotal time in the digital entertainment industry”, added Charlie Muirhead, Founder and CEO of Rightster. “Rightster Studios enables producers of all sizes to create the next generation of engaging online video programming, and we look forward to working with Viral Spiral to successfully distribute and monetise new, original content based on the existing strength of the ‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ brand.”
If for some reason, this corner of the Internet has escaped your attention, this is the original. Who knows that Charlie might get up to next and if it will cause Harry quite as much pain.

Picture Of Rat In Supermarket Deli Counter Goes Viral

The first thing everyone will hate to see is A large rat eyeing up the cheese in the deli counter!

However, as you can see, that's what happened in one Paraguay store a few weeks ago. And a horrified shopper did exactly what any of us would do in the same situation: he took a photograph then posted it on Twitter. Oh, and presumably he went elsewhere to buy his cheese.

Unsurprisingly, the snap went viral - and the shop was swiftly closed down, pending an investigation by health officials.

"What would you have done?"

Mitt Romney photo goes viral, and it's more about wide-eyed Chipotle manager with him

DENVER  — The manager of a Denver Chipotle restaurant has become an Internet celebrity thanks to his wide-eyed pose alongside Mitt Romney when the Republican presidential candidate stopped by for lunch.

Twenty-year-old Marty Arps struck the pose for a group photo with Romney and Chipotle employees Tuesday afternoon. Arps is seen making a wide-eyed expression while pointing at Romney.

The Associated Press photo is being shared extensively Twitter and is making the rounds on websites.

Arps told The Daily he makes the expression when he's excited.

Arps said he doesn't know yet who he'll vote for, telling The Daily that he's "not too hip to elections and stuff."

Romney ordered a pork burrito bowl with guacamole during the brief stop while he prepared for Wednesday's presidential debate in Denver.

"What do you guys think??"

Artist goes viral with New York skyline sketch (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

A British artist becomes an online hit after he created a remarkable drawing of the Lower Manhattan skyline as seen from the top of the Empire State building. Video of the drawing process posted on YouTube and Vimeo has gone viral across the world.

Patrick Vale, created the time-lapse video in a bid to prove that he draws freehand. Thus he placed his smart phone on a tripod over his hands and filmed the drawing being created.

It took Vale four days to finish his ink-made sketch, as he returned to the observation deck on the 102nd floor of the Empire State, The Huffington Post reports.

The artist, drawing to Moanin by Charles Mingus, appears to have made very few errors whilst sketching the skyline.

Screenshot from Patric Vale's video on Vimeo

“I'm not that precious about drawing a true representation,” the Huffington Post quotes the artist. “I just try to let the pen decide what needs to be shown. You kind of have to just go for it and stop before its overworked.”
Dozens of comments to the video with praise of Vale’s work appeared on YouTube and Vimeo as thousands of people have viewed the short film online.

“Morning everyone! If I haven't already thanked you personally for sharing the Empire State of Pen video and for liking the page – thank you! I really do appreciate all your support,” the artist wrote on his Facebook page.

Internet Skepticism Toward Unaltered Photo Lands Unique Cat an Appearance on The Today Show

Venus the cat has a face that appears to have two completely separate halves. The left side of her face is black with a green eye. The right side of her face is orange tabby with a blue eye. The line dividing the two halves is straight and right down the center of her face such that a profile shot of one side would look like a completely separate cat when compared to a profile shot of the other side! 

 Venus began life on a farm in North Carolina. After seeing a snapshot that included the farm cat and being struck by her odd features, Veuns's current owners Chris and Christina decided they had to open their Florida home to one more cat. She lived quietly as a loving and beloved pet until Christina posted a page for her on Facebook and a friend posted her picture on Reddit. Her photos quickly went viral, being shared by hundreds of thousands of social media users within a week. Once the photos became famous, people began to suspect that the perfect line dividing two faces on the same cat could not be real and must have been fabricated or enhanced on Photoshop or her fur dyed. 

 However, video and older photos of the calico-tortoise shell mix shown on the Today show proves her unusual coloring to be natural. It is suspected that the odd physical feature may be the genetic result of two separately fertilized eggs that merged during very early development to form a single organism from two zygotes, or very young embryos. However, DNA testing has not been performed to confirm this suspicion. After her fifteen minutes of fame, Venus hopes to return home to Florida. However, it is also rumored that the suddenly-famous kitty now has an agent who will help connect Venus with animal rights non-profits who can use her fame and cuteness to further the cause of animal rights.

'Hunger Games' Parody Trailer Goes Viral (Video)

The Hunger Games has sold nearly 4 million DVDs and Blu-ray discs since hitting stories last week, but not everyone thinks the film lives up to the hype.

A video from Honest Trailers, which purports to advertise films as they really are, takes issue with Katniss’ (Jennifer Lawrence) ability to outwit other tributes by hanging out in trees and Peeta’s (Josh Hutcherson) ridiculously detailed cake decorating skills, and asks why the "much hotter" Gale (Liam Hemsworth) is not Katniss’ first choice.

VIDEO: 'The Hunger Games' Premiere Red Carpet Interviews 

Amassing more than a quarter of a million plays, the parody trailer mercilessly raises a slew of additional questions moviegoers may have been asking themselves, including plot points from Suzanne Collins' novel that didn't make it to the big screen. (Where's the avox?)

New Planes To Travel from London to New York in An Hour.

WaveRider Hypersonic Jet targets Mach 6!

Hypersonic jet WaveRider is to undergo another test flight above the Pacific Ocean aiming to reach Mach 6.Continue reading the main story

At this speed [more than 4,300mph (6,900km/h)], it could travel from London to New York in about an hour. The project is funded by the Pentagon and Nasa, and is part of plans to develop faster missiles. During a test in June 2011, WaveRider travelled at Mach 5, but failed to reach the target speed.

It is one of several projects currently under way to create a Hypersonic aircraft. The research could also be used to build a commercial plane, able to reach much higher speeds than today's jets, after Concorde was decommissioned in 2003.

Five-minute flight

A B-52 bomber will lift the wingless unmanned jet from US Edwards Air Force Base in California to 50,000 feet (15,250m). The craft will then be dropped, and after a free fall of about four seconds, its engine is supposed to ignite. 

Continue reading the main story

X-51A WaveRider should then climb to 70,000ft (21,300m) and eventually reach Mach 6.

The Mach number is the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound. Mach 1 is the speed of sound - approximately 768mph, depending on various factors including temperature and altitude. So Mach 6 is six times the speed of sound. Concorde's cruising speed was Mach 2 - it flew from London to New York in just over three hours.

The WaveRider test flight is expected to last for about five minutes. At the end of it, the aircraft will break into pieces and fall into the Pacific. The test is essentially a repeat of last summer's attempt, when the hypersonic aircraft reached Mach 5, but the engine failed to attain full power.

Viral Video of A Ferrari Running Over A Cop

This is an absolutely insane viral video taken by a passer-by who happens to be a ferrari fanatic as well.
He was just admiring the ferrari taking a shot with His canon 7d only to get a little more than he expected.

This was what he had to say about his experience.
"I was walking around Soho, NYC today when I stumbled upon this Ferrari 458 Spider with a cop writing a ticket next to it. I started to record the situation because I thought it'd make a cool video, little did I know what I was in for. As soon as I started recording the owner of the car appeared and got in it. He slowly started moving since he refused to accept the ticket (the car was parked in a hotels valet zone and the hotel valet had the keys, I myself don't understand why the cop was giving him the ticket, it was approved by the hotel that the car was parked there.) The cop then told him to stop but he proceeded to move forward. Now at this point I believe the cops foot was under the front drivers side tire. Yet again the owner moved the car forward and apparently he somewhat ran over the cops foot (or at least that's what can be made out from everything in the video, others at the scene claimed otherwise.) This triggered the cop and he slammed his hand into the drivers window and proceed to open the door (notice how many times he bumped it into the taxi cab) and pull the driver out forcefully. The driver was then thrown on the ground and handcuffed and arrested. The owners girlfriend seen in the video is also Stephanie Pratt from the MTV hit show, The Hills. The car did suffer some damage, paint chips on the door from when the cop slammed it into the cab and some scuffs by the engine bay shown in the last scene of this video. Pretty crazy situation, I was definitely at the right place at the right time!"

Call Me Maybe's parody in the Tech world is "Fund Me Maybe"

Randi Zuckerberg, Facebook’s former marketing director and sister of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, recently channeled her inner Carly Rae Jepsen with a “Call Me Maybe” parody dubbed “Fund Me Maybe.”

She and her band Feedbomb performed the spin-off live at the ThriveGulu charity event in San Francisco, infusing Jepsen’s chart-topping song with references to the tech world and startup investors.

“Hey, I just launched this. My idea’s crazy, but here’s my startup, so fund me maybe,” belts Zuckerberg, who left Facebook in August 2011 to launch social media firm R to Z Studios (formerly named RtoZ Media).

Business Insider‘s West Coast editor Owen Thomas wrote the lyrics to “Fund Me Maybe” and made a brief appearance in the live performance.

Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” is still number 1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, after first appearing on top in June.

A picture that has touched the hearts of many Globally

A photo may be worth 1,000 words, but professional photographer Hannah Stonehouse Hudson has learned it can also be worth 2.2 million views, 191,162 likes, 108,766 shares and 21,936 comments (and counting) on Facebook.

"My specialty is documenting relationships, whether it's a wedding or a man and his dog," says the Bayfield, Wis., photographer. "I have known my friend John and his dog, Schoep, for six years. I have seen Schoep age -- he's 19 now. John lives his life in a kind way. He rescued this dog as a puppy, they have gone everywhere together ever since. Schoep has arthritis now, and John finds that the water is therapeutic. He is the kind of person who wants his animals to be comfortable. I wanted to capture their relationship. I told John, 'I really need to get photos of you and your dog.'

Last Tuesday, we met at the beach for the photo. While John swam with the dog, I got on the dock so I could be at eye level. It took five minutes.

"In the shot, the dog is completely relaxed, with his head on John's shoulder, eyes closed, out cold. John's eyes are closed, too. The water is calm. It's completely serene.

"That night, I wrote on Facebook about the amazing photo session I had just had with a dog that is 19 years old and his human. It was just a preview of the photo, but people freaked out about it. I had no idea they'd get so excited!

"The next night, Wednesday, I was exhausted fromshooting a wedding, but I knew I had to post that photo. I wrote: 'This (is) 19-year-old (Schoep) being cradled in his father's arms last night in Lake Superior. (Schoep) falls asleep every night when he is carried into the lake. The buoyancy of the water soothes his arthritic bones. Lake Superior is very warm right now, so the temp of the water is perfect. I was so happy I got to capture this moment for John. By the way, John rescued Shoep as an 8 month old puppy, and he's been by his side through many adventures :).'Within minutes, there were 100 likes. The next morning, Thursday, there were 600 shares. It was crazy."On Thursday, I was shooting a wedding on Madeline Island. My friends were emailing me, asking me if I'd seen what was happening with the photo on Facebook. I said, 'No, I'm working.'By then, there were 5,000 shares. I literally broke down in tears."I am not a posed photo person. My photos are always in the moment, translating what I see in my heart and mind and showing it to others. I never thought that this many people would see the same thing."In this photo, people have said they see everything from pure love to hope for the world. They see peace, kindness, the relationship between man and dog. Two women, both whose husbands died from cancer, said they never thought they'd see love again, but this photo showed them love. People are leaving me messages, crying and opening up about dogs they've lost, spouses they've lost. Women are also asking me if John is single!"I know this is not about me -- it's about a guy who loves his dog -- but I am in complete awe that my photo has had such an impact."Molly Guthrey can be reached at 651-2285505.Hannah Stonehouse Hudson/StonehousePhoto.com.After professional photographer Hannah Stonehouse Hudson took this photo of her friend John Unger and his 19-year-old rescue dog, Schoep, during one of their therapeutic evening swims in Lake Superior, she posted it on Facebook and it went viral.

Guy Holds A Piranha and Uses it as a Scissors

This guy should probably win the Guinness World record for Bravest Man. In Cuyabeno Rainforest, Ecuador, this man was filmed holding the deadly fish. As it flaps its tail in an attempt to escape, he slowly lowers a twig into its mouth.

In return, the fish effortlessly slices through the stick with its sharp teeth. After chomping through the twig, it bites again... "Imagine if that was human flesh..."

Pool Me Maybe: Team USA's swimmers record road-trip version of Carly Rae Jepsen hit "Call Me Maybe"

American swimmers record pop video on the plane, on the coach and even underwater!

USA's Swim Team doing a spoof of Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe'

This seems like their own way of letting down the pressure, since a lot is expected from them at the London 2012. Instead of using their flight to London and spare days before the Games simply to rest and prepare, America's swimmers have decided to have a bit of a laugh, too. During the past days, this team of young athletes recorded their own pop version of Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe'. The recordings for their video were done on the flight, at the atheletes' village, and even underwater.

I'm sure its just for a little fun...

Gargantuan Fish pulls a stunt

The world's largest fish appears to be a clever thief too. Conservation International recently posted a video showing a gargantuan whale shark stealing small fish that in a way is being stolen from it by commercial fishermen. The amazing footage, captured off Indonesia's Cenderawasih Bay, shows how the shark has learned to literally suck fish from small holes in a platform net.

Joke: The Tale of Three Friends

A Ghanaian man, American man and Nigerian man were lost in a forest and were captured by cannibals. The king of the cannibals told the three friends that they could live if... they pass a trial. 

The 1st step was to go deep into the forest and get 10 pieces of the same kind of fruits. The three men went their separate ways to gather fruits.

... The Ghanaian man came back and said to the king, "I brought 10 apples".

The King explained the trial to him. 

King: You have to swallow the fruits without any expression on  
           your face or you will be killed.

The first apple went in, but on the second one, he winced out in pain, so he was killed. 

The American arrived and showed the king 10 berries. When the king explained the trial to him, he thought to himself that this should be easy....1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and on the ninth berry, he burst out in laughter and was killed.

The Ghanaian and American met in heaven... The Ghanaian man asked, "why did you laugh?, you almost got away with the trial"....then the American man replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the Nigerian man coming with Watermelons!!!
