"Is this another Muppet trailer parody? Why don't we just show a real trailer? I mean, what are we hiding?

Ever wonder what your digital life would be like in the real world? Would you meet people the same way? Are the dangers the same? In a trending video on YouTube with over half a million views is a sneak peak of what that would look like. Pretty ridiculous, right? Wrong.

This is actually a promo for Two Boys, an upcoming production of the English National Opera (ENO) that opens on June 23rd, which may be the first opera that deals with the dangers of living our lives online.Continue reading...

Trending on YouTube lately, and added a week ago with over 1 million hits, is the King of Cone-ing himself, Alki Stevens.

The Australian comedian proves there actually is fun to be had with fast food. Cone-ing, a trend he singlehandedly (sometimes doublehandedly) created as a viral sensation, is when a person orders an ice cream cone (say at a McDonald's drive-thru window) by grabbing it by the ice cream end, instead of the cone...

Trending on YouTube today, and in the news as well, is the video clip above detailing one of the most devastating celebrity romance scandals of recent history: the break-up of Ken and Barbie. 

But, hang on — we thought they already broke up and got back together in a highly-publicized reunion (via a tongue-in-cheek digital campaign) on Valentine's Day?

Turns out this time their break-up was engineered not by Mattel but by Greenpeace, which is attacking the toy giant for (in its view) contributing to the destruction of the Indonesian rainforest through to its Barbie-related toy packaging.Continue reading...
