Before you continue reading this post, take a look at the below sentence. It looks as innocent as it should be. Nothing right or wrong about it.
"Once upon a time, there were three little pigs."
Sounds familiar? Am I gonna start telling you a fairytale?
"Once upon a time, there were three little pigs."
"Once upon a time, there were three little pigs."
"...there were three little pigs."
"...there were three little pigs."
"...there were three little pigs."
"three little pigs."
"three little pigs."
Now close your eyes and count to five. No cheating. Dishonest people will get caught in traffic jams more often.

You should have opened your eyes by now. Don't worry, traffic will be smooth for you if you had closed them.

"Goldilocks was playing baseball with Red Riding Hood while Jack was chopping a beanstalk for Rapunzel to eat. Cinderella is fed up that she doesn't have any beanstalks to eat so she vented her anger on Snow White who got punched in the face. Sleeping Beauty was awoken by the punching and went fishing with Pinocchio but they ended up catching Ugly Duckling from the river."
Sounds random? That's what the latest craze on Youtube is all about. It's called the Harlem Shake! Do not confuse with banana milkshake or protein shake.
In case you do not surf Youtube or do not have retarded Facebook friends who share Harlem Shake videos, Harlem Shake is a concept whereby one person in the clip starts moving about while the others just remain calm as if nothing happened. But after 15 seconds or so, when the music changes tempo, everybody starts doing random stuff.
In fact, the more random the actions are, the funnier it would turn out to be. People do all sorts of unpredictable things. Yes, anything that you can or just cannot imagine.
But this trend is definitely no dance. Compared to Gangnam Style or Moonwalk, which at least have some standard moves in them, Harlem Shake is totally silly. You can run, jump, roll and even fall out of a window (the Norwegian Army did that).
Harlem Shake is definitely not a dance. It should be classified as an Internet meme thanks to the video, which went viral since early February, where five costumed guys literally shaked to the song "Harlem Shake" by American DJ Baauer.
There are currently more than 12,000 Harlem Shake clips on Youtube. However, I bet this phenomenon will shake out by the end of this month. Only a handful are truly hilarious, the rest are just so dumb. The people who star in it are dumb and the people who share them on social networking sites are even dumber.
"Pinocchio brought Ugly Duckling back home to roast it. Sleeping Beauty fell asleep while drinking a glass of lemonade. Snow White got her revenge when the seven dwarfs whacked Cinderella. Rapunzel decides to bleach her hair blue. Jack decided to cook the beanstalk with prawns. Red Riding Hood wanted to do a Harlem Shake and Godilocks thinks that she is retarded."
