So I guess that means "no" on the snow day?

So it snows last week in Fairfax County, Virgina. A lot. But they don't cancel school. And a 17-year old student at Lake Braddock Secondary School can't understand why. So he calls one of the school's administrators at home and leaves a message asking why school wasn't cancelled. Rude? Maybe. But not in comparison.

See the administrator's wife gets the message and is livid. So she calls the student back and gets his voicemail. And she goes ape sh*t! And the kid does what any Gen Y kid with internet access, a YouTube and a Facebook account would do....he posts the message online (along with a little animation to give you something to watch while the the voicemail plays). 75,000 views in a day and a half later, and there's no doubt this is viral...no more talk...cue the crazy lady.

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!

Move over Tom Cruise. Finally a video to put Australia on the map (and no, it's not a porno with Nicole Kidmam). This is a must see video featuring an interview with a teenager who has thrown quite possibly the biggest house party in decades. He is being literarily ripped apart by this d*$che bag newscaster but doesn't budge on his quest to be cool, be funny, and be the most popular guy in town.

The best part about this thing is that this kid throws a party while his parents are gone, the police come to break up the party cause it is loud and out of control - ok, no big deal - but then the guests decide to totally jank up the neighborhood on their way out. You could have sworn it was the 2004 world series in boston - people were doing crazy shit. Cars smashed up and flipped over, rocks thrown through neighbors houses - even people streaking after the police left. And the best part... The parents are still out of town!

Simply put, this kid is hilarious. Despite the lesson the newscaster is trying to teach him, he sticks to his guns. He threw a blowout party that is getting international coverage. How's that for a college essay.

Britney on a stretcher

Don't bother to watch this video. Seriously. It's absurd. It's 3 minutes and 11 seconds of some idiot paparazzi guy running around the entrance to a hospital alongside a couple dozen other idiot paparazzi guys. They film ambulances, they film a bunch of people and - for about 8 seconds, you see Britney Spears sitting on a stretcher. Sitting, not laid out. Looking fairly alert, not catatonic. And 8 seconds. Literally. If you really, really want to see it then start the video, skip to around 2:04, and watch it. You shall be unimpressed.

But the ridiculous part is that people have watched this video. A lot. 1.4 million in 4 days. So you could argue it's one of the most viral videos around. But it's just so....blech. I guess our only choice is to concede it's viral but give it a lousy grade, which is almost exactly what YouTubers are doing - despite all the views, Britney's hospital jaunt has an average rating of just 2 out of 5 stars.

Oh, and if you want to watch the Kevin Federline stuff at the end, well, you're beyond hope. Seriously, go check out the K-Fed blog or something. Is there a K-Fed blog...God, please say there isn't.
